Hi Hive Lovers
Everyone definitely wants beauty around them, and one way to get that beauty is to have a garden.
In general, a garden is defined as an area where various flowers or plants are planted and well cared for. Unlike the forest, where various plants grow on their own without human intervention,
In a garden, there are always flowers, trees, shrubs, and grass, which are often combined with various creations using other complementary materials, including places to relax, fish ponds, animal replicas, and others.
Gardens are made or built for various purposes and specific functions. But its main value is for beauty and greenery.
Gardens can also function specifically based on their respective interests. For example, there are family gardens, city gardens, tourist gardens, protected forest gardens, and various other gardens.
Recently, gardens have become an important need for anyone, especially for urban communities that have limited green open spaces.
If you walk around the area where you live, you will notice that more and more open space has been utilized in such a way that a green area has been created and decorated with various flowers and plants. Everything becomes beautiful, green, and refreshing.
Is it only that? Apparently not.
The existence of a garden has actually given us a space for recreation, and behind that, it turns out that the existence of a garden also has a philosophical value.
Recreational
Gardens have recreational functions when people who visit them can feel the change. Especially recovering one's fatigue from being in a garden.
The feeling of relaxation is always felt by someone who is in a garden. It is a form of changing conditions from routine activities that even put pressure on someone's mentality, but when they are around flowers and plants, they will feel relaxed and refreshed.
Philosophical
The garden is a place where various hard and soft elements gather. It is also the place where living and dead elements come together.
Buildings, which are also basic human needs, are hard and rigid elements, and the presence of a beautiful and green garden will melt that stiffness and even become a balancer for the lives of its inhabitants.
A garden filled with flowers and living plants will provide balance against harsh elements or dead elements, and balance is important in human life.
