Every school does not possess a garden. The schools which are built in the heart of city have generally no gardens. Our school is situated outside the city. We are lucky in having big and beautiful garden.

Advantage :
This garden of ours is a boon to students. Small children improve their health by working in their plots. They feel an inner peace and happiness when they see their little plants growing bigger and bearing beautiful flowers. Thus this garden, along with education gives health, strength and happiness to small children.
We often sit in the evening on the grassy lawn and enjoy the sight of pretty flowers. The sweet scent of the flowers and buds cheer our heart and mind. On Sundays we catch beautiful butterflies flying on the pleasant sunshine on the mango trees. How pleasant it looks when we run after them from bush to bush! What a noise we all make when we catch a butterflies in the net!

During the rainy season we enjoy the merry notes of the cuckoo on the mango trees, and the chipping of birds in the rose bushes. The grassy lawn appears to us as if God Almighty has spread green velvet on the ground.
