Given whatever is happening with our planet, one small way you can help make the world a better place is to plant a tree if you have some space. To encourage more people to plant trees, we are giving away a mix of Mango, Guava, Jack fruit, Jamoon, Badam, Tamarind and other saplings.
If you have small pieces of [unused land like Karthik](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/little-more-forest-everywhere-karthik-rangappa/?trackingId=0Hswn1fGT%2BCNPBi%2BVeBARw%3D%3D), this is one way to transform it. You can take as many saplings as you’d need. If you know a friend who’d be interested, please do spread the word. To get the saplings, you can visit our nursery near Harohalli, Kanakpura Road. Arranging delivery of these saplings is too messy, so you’ll have to visit the nursery or make your travel arrangements.
Please email [divya.s@rainmatter.org](mailto:divya.s@rainmatter.org) for details.
**A little more forest everywhere.**

Dear folks. Lovely initiative. If you are wishing to plant a forest, could you also give a native wild tree along with these fruit trees. One for us, and for the birds and bees out there. A touch of diversity, a splash of wilderness. Many native species of bengaluru also give fruits like ankola mara, bilvapatre(bel), konda-mavu(hill mango). Some are beautiful to look at like Amaltas(Golden Shower Tree) and Palash(flame of the forest). Many are extremely fragrant and add night time romance to your garden like Parijat.
A little more forest-like forest everywhere. 🙂

Hey Manvendra,
Thanks for the suggestion. We have been discussing this internally too.
@Divya Could you share once we have updates around this, please.

Kindly advice whether Saplings are available in your nursery. If yes it would be great if you share the list of saplings available.
Also let me know whether we can visit Nursery this Saturday/Sunday

Apart from the nurseries at the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS-GKVK) and Lalbagh, we know of Sarathy Heartfulness Foundation (+919845193750) near Hesaraghatta, Krishnendra Farm in Devanahalli (have some native species as well), and the Forest Dept nursery at Aaranya Bhavan. Hope this helps!
