many many thanks thishya for your help!!! I will for sure use this information to complete my work!! I have one more question!!

In gardening general in India, are there used any style like Islamic, hindu or English garden styles? Or they have a unique way to build up those gardens? It may be a stupid question but it will help me a lot =]

This is exactly i missed writing down and i came back to the system...Let us see...There is nothing like cottege gardens wilbard gardens or anysuch things practised by indians folks.all i wrote down is about a layman's garden.If it is for your class and about world's typical gardens...I know the history of gardenning talks about Moghul or purtian gardensAnd latin or greek gardens,Asian or oriental gardens.the rest are new world gardens developed..What is your project about?Asian gardens or Indian gardens?.I failed to add that Every Indian household,rented or own..never failed to grow a gourd plant and bean plant at least once in their life time.If you really want deep roots of Indian Favourite plants..Observe the temple yard trees.I would say laymans garden started imitating templs and there followed the kitchen gardens (Herbs,vegetables and fruits).Rich man;s gardens in India always mimicked purtian gardens.Grapes Pomogranates,Other citrus fruits,fragrant plants,like Tuberose,NightqueenEtc.Mediterranian and arbour gardens were groomed for tourist interests.Rich families always entertained guests under grape vine or rose wine arbours of course bouganvillias (Wrong spelling)replaced them later.This story is getting long let us not bore the other members.

I agree thisya, I could explain more about my project by email... please send me a feedback : trilochankaur.puri@gmail.com

Styles of home gardenning in the world! Dip you check Canadian gardens,English gardens,Midwest gardens, Southern gardens,North west gardens etc?.Cottage gardens ,hummingbird gardens,Butterfly gardens,raingardens,orientalgardens mediterranian gardens,rock gardens,alpinegardens,watergardens,Topiarygardens all these -may give you some info you can add.May be little history and developement thru medival and regency periods and modern gardens...followed by present day gardens..If you could link up ..the timely changes in connection with horticultural research it would be good.Scientists keep introducing new varieties and people are willing to cultivate them in their yards.that makes the changing trends of home gardenning..Here in U.S People say they like to see the changed styles of garden insted of experiencing monotony.
