Line up green goblins to welcome you
With urbanisation expediting its tentacles, trees are fast vanishing into roads, ring roads, airports, apartments, flyovers and what not.
On the other hand, the ever-increasing traffic presents a difficult situation by adding to the levels of pollution, but, at the same time, necessitating removal of the tree cover for road-widening. The only way the balance can be restored is to grow 1
0 trees for every one cut down. What better way than going for avenue plantations to achieve this? New colonies and townships keep aesthetics as an integral part of designing. But even the most splendid concrete construction cannot match a welcoming line of trees on either side of the way in amplifying the beauty of the surroundings. Avenue plantations also play a vital role in reducing the pollution levels. They are desirable for shelter in the scorching summer. Apart from avenues, parks and private bungalows are spaces that can be enriched through ornamental plants and trees.
“Ornamental plants are more suitable for avenues because the fruit-bearing ones will attract monkeys and mischief mongers,” says an expert.
