About the Botanical Garden :

The PMT’s Art’s, Commerce and Science College, Shevgaon is established to provide knowledge & educational facilities to the students of rural and urban areas. Since opening of the college our staff is dedicated to motivate the people of this area to increase their agricultural knowledge and social upliftments.
Our college has a special botanical garden for senior college students & a special Crop Science department under Bio-focal courses. It provides special techniques, special practical and Knowledge to the students for employment and self employment. It plays a very important role in academic and socio-economical progress.
The college Botanical Garden was established according to needs of students’ academicians, environmental studies and society from June 2018. Since, 2018 we are continuously planting phytogeographic, endemic, medicinal and rare plants. So today we have collection of number of plants in our garden.
Other than this we are propagating various seedlings and distributing them in various schools, colleges, social and Govt. organization for social forestry. For achieving the aims and objectives of botanical garden we are conducting environmental awareness programme, tree plantation, plant relies and delivered lectures for rural society.
The Botanic garden was systematically planned in the presence of principal & Botany staff. Botanical garden present in front of main building. Various plant species are planned to increase aesthetic sense. It also increases beauty of college campus. Botanical garden has separate sectors for ornamental, Seasonal, Medicinal plants and vermicomposting unit.
Vermicomposting unit is an ecological way of dealing with organic waste. The most important aspect of compost produced by earthworms is that it is 100% organic. There are no harmful chemicals and it does not need to be mixed with anything. Vermicomposting produces a product that is naturally designed to benefit plants in several different ways. The most significant benefit is that the nutrients in earthworm compost are very easily absorbed by the roots of plants. Unlike chemical fertilizers, Vermicompost is not easily flushed from the soil because of the worm mucus that it contains. Plants have longer to obtain the nutrients and get the maximum benefit. As the compost is passing through the body of the worms it is enriched with bacteria and microbes. These help plants to become more disease resistant and also repel some plant pests. Vermicompost is a colloid and holds up to nine times its own weight in water. This can make a huge difference when there is a dry spell. Vermicomposting unit derived organic fertilizer applied to the botanical garden. Considering the advantages of Vermicomposting,, PMT’s Art’s, Commerce and Science College, Shevgaon has taken initiative in construction of Vermicomposting Plant near main Canteen and botanical garden.

Our future plan:-

1) To establish Cactus Polyhouse, Vertical garden sectors to grow rare, endemic, endangered threatened plants.
2) Ex-situ conservation and multiplication of endemic plant species of indigenous (desi) plants.
3) Establishment of seedbanks.
