On 15th November 2009, as part of project “Vrishikam Onnu Vrisham Onnu” Ayudh Mumbai conducted Tree Plantation drive at Amrita Garden, Nerul from 10 am onwards. Around 40 volunteers from the age group of 6 -30 participated in the event. The tree plantation drive marked the first step towards initiating GREEN FRIENDS Activities at Nerul ashram. The plantation was carried using organic manure which was prepared from food and bio degradable waste
The volunteers were divided in 4 groups .Each group were assigned a particular activity of digging the soil, planting the sapling, adding organic manure and watering the plants .All volunteers enthusiastically participated in the assigned seva of planting 41 plants .It was great fun to see the younger volunteers wanting to contribute equally as the older ones in the seva .
After planting the tress ,a short prayer was offered to Mother Earth which was followed by the volunteers circumblating the plants planted while chanted “Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu”108 times .
Ayudh Mumbai plants to extend the organic gardening to other areas in near future with an aim to have a cleaner and better environment.
