Due to overpopulation in cities, excessive use of chemicals on crops poses health risks. To combat this, urban residents are turning to establish and maintain small home gardens, even utilizing limited spaces like balconies. Recognizing the significance of home gardens, people are exploring alternatives like terrace gardening and vertical gardening when space is scarce. A model vertical system namely Arka Vegetable Garden Structure for growing vegetables, flowers, and herbs in small urban spaces, was developed by Indian Institute of Horticultural Research located at Bengaluru.
