Mother nature contains a wide range of plant and animal species, as well as the sky, ground, and air. However, a vast number of plants remain unclassified and unidentified. The woodlands and other protected and unprotected regions are home to many of these unnamed plants. Home gardens are getting increasingly fashionable these days. Many individuals grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables for their own consumption. Gardening in the kitchen is very popular. Many people of Kerala grow tomatoes, brinjal, spinach, and other vegetables in their home gardens. Fresh, chemical-free vegetables are obtained in this manner. We can detect the plant diversity of a region by observing different home gardens. Commercial use of vegetables and fruits grown in home gardens can provide locals with additional revenue. In home gardens, mostly locally available fruits and vegetables are grown. Garden plants are also getting increasingly fashionable these days. They are the centre of interest in many locales. Many individuals create their gardens in unusual ways. Many individuals purchase exotic plants from nurseries, ensuring that new plants are introduced into the local flora. Many people took up gardening as a hobby during the 2020 lockdown due to Covid -19. They began to grow hanging plants in their homes and began to place inside plants as well. Many gardens have a diverse range of exotic and indigenous garden plant species. There is a wide range of plants to be observed, including both flowering and foliage plants. Gardening is one of the best ways to become involved in the current scenario of the covid-19 pandemic. They aid in the improvement of mental health, sleep, and the reduction of stress, anxiety, and depression. In this study, we identify decorative garden plants from Panamukku Thrissur Corporation residences that were randomly selected.
