Mysuru :

A training programme on kitchen and terrace gardening, organised jointly by the Horticulture Department and District Horticulture Association for beneficiaries who had applied earlier, was held at Kukkarahalli Horticulture Centre here this morning.

About 200 people who underwent the training were provided with gardening kits containing seeds, organic manure, pots and small tools.

Inaugurating the programme, ZP President Dr. Pushpa Amarnath said that kitchen and terrace gardening had become very popular in cities owing to constrained space and added that the Horticulture Department has come out with a novel training programme in that context.

A demonstration on kitchen and terrace gardening was presented during the training.

District Horticulture Association Vice-President Dr. Prabhamandal, Treasurer Vijaya Kumari, Environmentalist and Social Activist Vasanthkumar Mysoremath, Horticulture Department Deputy Director H.M. Nagaraj, Senior Assistant Director C.R. Krishna Kumar and others were present.
