5. BIO AESTHETIC PLANNING AND PLANTS
Bio aesthetic planning may be defined as a
Conscious planning of the flora and fauna with the object of beautifying the country. Colourful trees and flowers play a great part in making the environment beautiful and in refining the minds of the inhabitants.

6. It includes the planting of ornamental
flowering trees along city roads, in parks, public places and compounds of houses both in towns and villages, and the development of national parks for the preservation of beautiful, harmless animals, and creation of bird sanctuaries.

8. Gardening, like music, is a most sensitive fine art
Gardening, like music, is a most sensitive fine art. A landscape designer should be an artist, an aesthete, a botanist, a gardener and an architect. As an artist, he should have eye for colour and form; as an aesthete, love for nature and beautiful plants. He should also know the anatomy, physiology and ecology of plants, as well as the principles of painting, sculpture and architecture to appreciate the relationship between plant from and building. He should not only be able to select plants which are suitable for the soil but also possess a highly trained aesthetic sense so that he is able to appreciate the principles of balance, rhythm and accent in the planting of trees.

25. Public places which belong to the community as a whole rather than individual should have priority in planning the type of plants to be planted. A large number of people will be able to enjoy various useful plants and sight of beautiful trees.
 Public parks and squares, public roads, platforms of railway stations, compounds of hospital, university, colleges and schools, ancient historical buildings under the supervision of archeological Departments, compounds of courts, office buildings of Municipalities and District Boards and bungalows are places in town which can be used for such kind of plantations.
