PARASPAR
Invites you to a lecture on
TREES OF BANGALORE
A Book to Uncover Hidden Treasures in the City
Abstract: The very first attraction of Bangalore is its flowering trees to feast the eyes. The book is the culmination of my dream to publish a pathfinder through this extraordinarily diverse range of trees that adorn this beautiful city. This is a layman’s celebration of the city's rich botanical history and verdant charm. An important purpose is to impress on the public and future planners the concept and value of this culture, nature-based urbanism so that it is renewed with care and pride. ‘Trees of Bangalore’ combines the love of the city with the love of its trees - a must-read for everyone passionate about trees, sustainability, and urban ecology.
