The history of gardening and growing ornamental plants spans thousands of years, going back to ancient Egypt and Persia. Over the centuries, gardens have been used as displays of art , status , national pride , affection and scholarly wisdom. Forest gardening is the world's oldest form of gardening. Forest gardens originated in prehistoric times along jungle-clad river banks and in the wet foothills of monsoon regions. In the gradual process of families improving their immediate environment, useful tree and vine species were identified, protected and improved whilst undesirable species were eliminated.
