A garden shouldn’t be just a visual delight, believes Dr Ganesh Babu, a botanist at the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT) in Bengaluru. Flowers and plants should enhance your health and environment, he says.
Dr Babu has painstakingly collected some 1,400 medicinal plants from deep inside forests and nurtured them on the FRLHT’s leafy campus. Adept and insightful in identifying plants and their medicinal properties, Dr Babu believes plants grow according to the feelings you have for them.
In Bengaluru he has been promoting the idea of planting medicinal gardens. . .
