 PALMS
 Palms are monocotyledonous plants characterised
mostly by a straight trunk with a crown of fan-shaped
or feathery leaves at the top.

 They are usually planted to give the landscape a

tropical scene.

 They may be grown as specimen/ avenue trees or in

a group of 3 or 5 in the landscape.

 Palms appear most effective when planted in groups

as it occurs under natural conditions.

 CLIMBERS
 Climbing plants consist of both perennial woody
herbaceous and annuals plants.

 Climbers have various devices for climbing which includes

tendrils, twining stems, root-likeholdfasts and drooping or
rambling over a support.

 They are useful for sheltering and surfacing pavement to

prevent glare and heat adsorption. It can be used for
securing privacy and screening unsightly areas.

 Some climbing plants can be grown as pot plants though

in most cases they require support or pruning.

 Ground Cover Plants And Turf
Grasses
 Ground cover plants are very useful on slopes irregular surfaces
and in rocky areas where mowing of grass is not possible.

 Turf grasses are mainly for lawns ad playing fields.

 Ground covers are easy to keep and cheaper than the turf
grasses.

 FUNCTIONS
1. It helps reduce maintenance cost.
2. It cut down dust and heat absorption of the soil.
3. It protects the soil against erosion and provide pattern and
texture interest.
