Healing through horticulture
Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: The Horticulture Training Centre for the Disabled in Kyalasanahalli is an oasis in more ways than one. The once dry and barren land has been transformed by the Association of People with Disability (APD) into a luscious space offering an abode and training facility for people with various physical and mental disabilities.
Part of their rehabilitation and healing process entails horticulture, and the results are impressive.
A veritable orchard of well-tended plants, spread over a five-acre expanse, stands as testimony to the gifted gardeners, presenting a striking contrast to the dust-blown area surrounding it.
The APD has organised a plant fair at the Kyalasanahalli centre and over 300 varieties of ornamental, floral and vegetable plants are on sale till January 7.
In 2001, the Government granted five acres in Kyalasanahalli, which the NGO uses as a residential training centre.
