Flora of School
“Knowing trees, I
understand the meaning of patience.
Knowing grass, I can
appreciate persistence.”
Plants are
essential part of life on the Earth. There are several ways in which plants
play their role in sustenance of life on everyday basis. Greenery in school
premises is really important as it not only provides us with fresh air but also
promotes an environment. When we have plants around, we feel at ease as it
reduces stress and provides a feeling of well-being. It provides solace and
soothes the person. It has an enchanting effect and is like an elixir of life.
Besides being pleasing to the eyes, greenery also contributes to mental,
physical and emotional well-being. Our school has a spectacular garden, having
a wide variety of flowering plants such as Hibiscus, Canna, Lily, Rose,
Chrysanthemum, Calendula, Pansies, Dog Flower, Sunflower, Petunia, Sadabahar
etc. Creepers like Madhumalti, curtain creeper are seen on the railing of all
the floors of the school building. The school garden has herbs like Aloe Vera,
Basil etc. Our campus is full of various indoor and outdoor non-flowering
plants like Snake Plant, Money Plant, Arica Plant, Split Leaf Philodendrons, Cacti, Spider Plant, Kentia Palm,
Bonsai, Ferns and many more. The school has been nurturing some of the massive
trees like Ashoka, Gulmohar, Golden Shower, Neem,Papri, Kinnow Oranges, Lemon,
Bottle Brush, Ficusetc from last twenty years. The Ashoka trees planted along
the school boundary stand for the school ideology supporting greener
surrounding. Students are motivated to know about the school garden and trees
through various ‘environment club’ activities.
