26th Januray's tree plantation this year was a confluence of many nature enthusiasts. Sriram, Shilpi and me, we bought saplings from a nursery in Telecom Nagar. We bought some saplings of Jack fruit, Amla, Bel (Bilva), Custard Apple, Lemon. First year students from Shilpi and Sriram's groups started the work by 2Pm and it went on till 6PM. These were planted around the felicity ground(kalakshetra).
Parallel to this was another group headed by Neelima ma'am. 10-15 varieties of medicinal herbs and plants were taken from the garden between NBH and GH. These were planted in OBH lawn.
The whole show included search for gardening tools, collecting them from some faculty houses, some of them were "discovered" behind some bushes where the gardeners have hidden them.
It was great fun. Now, lets see how well these trees and plants would be taken care by the first year students.
