The book comprises of 16 chapters written by 18 distinguished experts in the field of Ornamental Horticulture. It provides comprehensive and practical information on the day-to-day aspects of applied ornamental horticulture.

Additionally, the book covers various aspects of gardening and landscape planning, making it an informative resource for students, city dwellers, and horticulture scholars. The book serves as a useful guide for housewives and is an indispensable reference book. The transition from conventional gardening to virtual digital gardening is acknowledged, but it is emphasized that natural gardens possess a divine quality that cannot be replicated by digital simulations.
