Dear Seema,
This is really interesting and probably an effective way towards reforestation in the urban areas. How did you go about communicating the difference between landscaping and mini-forests? Any data that you had handy here to convince on the differential benefits? Where can I find more information on indigenous trees to Bangalore?
Hi Nithish,
I prepared the society upfront by sending some interesting reads on how ground water was increased by forestation, digging pits etc. Whenever I came across an article and since I personally am into gardening, people saw what I was doing and trusted with my words too.
I just looked online for indigenous trees and got them. You can contact Mr. Sheshadri (ecologist). He is simply wonderful with all trees.His contact - 9448259194.
Feel free to call me on 9739615257 in case you need any help.
Thanks
Seema
