Deccan Herald, (a local news paper) has published an article about gardens, where Mr. M B Krishna an ecologist shares insights about modern gardens:
“…the picture-postcard landscapes that we see in many corporate spaces are just that, ornamental and pretty to look at. But if you look closely, many are not designed to serve pedestrians’ needs or be eco-friendly….
…They lack utilitarian aspects like winding paths down which to stroll, they don’t really offer shelter from the sun or quiet corners for time with oneself, and most times they don’t attract birds and butterflies. What is more, they are energy-intensive, and also require much manpower, time, pesticides, and money for maintenance…”
This is so true of the modern gardens that we see everywhere, and this has to change. We need Gardens that are inviting to wildlife and delightful to humans. Mr. Krishna also tells us what gardens should be.
