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 laymanās celebration of the cityās 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. āTrees of Bangaloreā combines the love of the city with the love of its trees ā a must-read for everyone passionate about trees, sustainability, and urban ecology.
