In this 21st centuary people are more likely to shift towards Cityscapes. As the population is rising rapidly, forest lands are cut down in order to provide necessary resources for the people. Forest lands are being converted for agriculture or even for settlements. This crisis plays a vital role in the rising of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Which is the number one pollutant for the environment.

We know that plants and trees can stock carbon to a great amount. Many countries have taken necessary steps to store above ground carbon stock by trees and plants. But for developing countries there is an issue of available land for plantation. Moreover, people are more likely to live in the cities. In these circumstances, home gardens can play a vital role in the above ground carbon stock. Home gardens can be made in the roofs, balcony or any other small spaces available in the house. Home gardens do not need extensive care, they give an aesthetic feature to the house. Moreover, we can plant fruit or palm species to have the food sources. A home garden gives you instant access to fresh produce, so that you're not forced to visit the grocery store or farmers market to find it. You save time and money on gasoline rather than driving somewhere else to buy your produce. A garden provides the opportunity to make a positive environmental impact. A compost pile allows you to recycle certain kitchen and yard waste products into a nutrient-rich additive for the garden. This reduces the waste you produce and provides natural fertilizer for your plants.  Fruit and palm trees store a great amount of carbon, If atleast 30% homes in the cities have gardens then it will greatly effect the environment and play a vital role in the REDD+ Program. REDD+ refers to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries. So, we all should practice home gardens in our houses.
