| Biodiversity |
Biodiversity encompasses all living things, diversity of species,
variation of genes that enables organisms to evolve and adapt, and
the diverse ecosystems within which organisms interact in a complex
web of interdependent relationships. These ecosystems are fragile
and if one collapses many others are likely to follow, causing mass
extinctions of species.

The average garden may seem an unlikely
ally to biodiversity, however the Agri Horticultural Society of
India maintains a huge agricultural garden and the garden is eco
friendly in its own right which is of great significance to the
biodiversity. The garden is a passionate promoter of Plant and Floral
diversity cramming the garden with as many captivating and different
plant species as possible, especially those are at the verge of
being extinct and endangered. |

The
factors that combine to put biodiversity at risk are as complex
as biodiversity itself and the problems of identifying the factors
and threats are exacerbated by the lack of data. In short, species
are becoming extinct faster than they can be recorded. Having always
been considered common very little was done to survey its habits
and habitats. The combination of habitats, soils and native and exotic plants
create a unique environment. Moderating various gardening techniques
and using the right plants can further enhance the biodiversity
in the garden, while maintaining the highest gardening standards.

Tissue Culture Laboratory in the garden is being maintained and
run by the professionals from within the garden and also by the
external experts to adapt a perfect balance of biodiversity and
ecology.
The Society is committed to enhancing biodiversity through ecology
with the means of garden, shows and advisory services. |
