PART 1
UNIT 1
Garden Styles
Environmental Gardening
Environmental gardening emerged. Some of the decade‟s liveliest debates
included native vs. the all-American lawn, and organics vs. pesticides. The term
Xeriscaping was coined, referring to drought-tolerant landscapes that help
conserve water. Recycling efforts materialized in fences, containers, paths, chairs,
and sheds. Gardeners understood that a healthy garden was home to birds, butterflies,
bees, and other wildlife – although we usually drew the line at deer.
Container gardening
Container gardening grew along with demand for new plants that thrive in pots.
Manufacturers responded to the trend with self-watering systems, special potting
soils, and plastic pots almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Water gardens
Water gardens remained popular, although we now know excavating the
backyard is not necessary. A simple fountain or container water feature will suffice.
Kitchen Garden
Kitchen garden enjoyed a resurgence, with striking designs and an emphasis on
salad crops and heirloom tomatoes.(to be continued)
A) Read the text.
2. Put a question to every style of a garden.

UNIT 2
Garden Styles
Cottage Garden
Cottage gardens reflected many of the content trends, including a preference
for fragrance, a renewed enthusiasm for heirlooms (especially annual flowers and
vegetables), and a desire for herbs in the landscape.
Sanctuary Gardens
Sanctuary gardens developed, mixing symbolism from different cultures
(Tibetian prayer flags, Zen water features) to create a nurturing that revives both
body and spirit.
Shade Gardening
Shade gardening grew as trees got larger and yard space got smaller. Several
nurseries began specializing for shade.
Low-Maintenance Gardens
Low-maintenance gardens appealed to the time-crunched and those who
desired more time to relax and enjoy their gardens. Gardeners looked for plants
described as easy-care, long-blooming, drought-tolerant, and desease-resistant.
Personal-Style Gardening
Personal-style gardening captured a gardener‟s imagination and sense of
humor. More then a collection of flamingos (although there are making a comeback),
personal style is about using a few old garden tools as an arbor or farm-machinery
disks as stepping stones

UNIT 3
Planning your garden
Tailor your gardening projects to fit the time you have available. Gardening
should be fun! Whether you enjoy pottering around for hours or prefer easy-and
quick, instant results, such as a container planting, use the projects to help you plan
your garden so that you get the maximum enjoyment out of it.
Design the garden that suits your needs. Rather than being a slave to other
people‟s ideas of what a garden should be, make sure that your garden fits in your
own tastes and lifestyle. Whether you want to be a horticultural showpiece with
herbaceous borders or a place to relax and enjoy the sunshine is entirely your
decision. Here are the main aspects you are to pay attention to: (to be continued).

UNIT 4
Improving your soil
Soil‟s characteristics may limit the plants you can choose for your garden.
There are a lot of things you can do to improve the soil. Soil that contains the correct
balance of water, air, and nutrients will reduce the amount of maintenance you
need to do and improve the performance of your plants.
Home-made compost is the most effective and economic type of soil
improver. Many materials from the garden and home can be recycled into garden
compost. Here are the most useful:
- fruit and vegetable waste; cooked or raw, tea leaves, coffee grinds,
egg shells.
- Newspaper or cardboard, shred and wet to help them break down.
9
- Green pruning; from bedding plants, deadheading, cutting down
herbaceous plants. Woody prunings should be shredded first.
- Dead leaves can be added in small quantities. Hay, dry grass; grass
clippings are suitable if dried first or mixed with other material.
- Nettles are useful for activating the compost.

5) How should you prepare a compost?

UNIT 5
Mulching
A bed of wood chips or coarse organic mulch around a tree‟s base greatly
increases root and tree health. Maintain a mulch bed around all newly planted and
existing trees that extends several feet from the trunk; wider is better. Mulch should
be 3 to 4 inches deep and should be renewed as it breaks down. Keep a mulch a
couple of inches away from the base of the trunk to avoid root or trunk decay. Air
tight plastic sheeting and rock beds should not be used around the trees. Porous
weed barriers of woven or matted plastic provide effective weed control but can
be difficult to install and maintain and are not much more effective than an adequate
organic mulch layer.
Mulching is covering the surface of the soil with appropriate organic or
inorganic material. Mulching prevents moisture from evaporating from the soil
surface and prevents weeds from growing. So it can save time on weeding and
watering throughout the growing season.
The best time to apply a mulch is when the soil is warm and contains plenty of
moisture. One drawback of mulch is that if it is applied to cold soil, it acts as an
insulator; the soil remains cold.
A) Read the text.
2. Find the terms in the text.

Mulch; time; moisture; surface; (to cover; to save; to apply; to contain)
