	The following passage is about the important need to create a platform ~~for meeting of various faculties of Horticulture exclusively~~ to cater to home gardens, orchards, groves, landscapes, bonsai, indoor gardening and urban afforestation. This becomes important because, with an abominable demand in the market for products and services related to this, availability of genuine infrastructure and resources are very limited. The available resources are either a monopoly or are substandard and if they are genuine do not get the required attention due to lack of a suitable medium.

The available resources are either a monopoly or are substandard and if they are genuine do not get the required attention due to lack of a suitable medium.

	Whilst, it is more important to concentrate on the major chunk in Horticulture, namely orchards, groves, green house and open field vegetables, it is a challenge to address this sector due to inherent difficulties in targeting the end user. Hence the best way to start off the platform for information sharing is through urban folks where interest in home gardens, bonsai, indoor plants, landscapes, Tree farming and vertical gardens is ample. After we have gained competence in our initial activities, we shall proceed to the core horticulture areas of orchards and groves and extend to farming communities. Few examples to the recent developments in home gardening include, seasonal gardening; terrace gardening; Aero Garden; Seed Pad, Plug Grow, Green-wall, vertical farming etc. Although the ~~SOPs~~ for the quoted technologies are available in public, the knowledge on how practically these technologies in the current operational environment can be implemented with the local available material / infrastructure is still lacking. Unfortunately, the academic institutions are yet to drive the student force toward such practical approach (es) and the entrepreneurship in the said domain is minuscule.
