3. When we studied a topic on Herbal
Garden and its uses in our Science
subject, we came to know the uses of
herbal plants.But many of our students
don’t know the Herbal plants and the
uses of it. So we decided to visit a
herbal garden to know about them.

teacher Mrs.M. Kohila . She
guided us to visit a Herbal
Garden at Vivekanada Kendra
and to observe the herbal plants
and its uses.
