Hello Usha di Most of the pics from Mumbai that I post have been clicked during these TAWs.
These 2 ladies (Dr. Usha Desai and Renee Vyas) are doing tremendous work in raising awareness about the flora around us. Alongwith providing basic info about the plants, they make these walks so interesting with stories, uses, any historical info that may be attached with the plant, any exploration related details etc. They also get articles and pics that help explain or give more information about these plants. It is heartening to see the enthusiasm and the love for plants they have and share with all of us. These TAWs are one of the main contributors to my interest in appreciating and documenting plants. I am sure they have inspired and kindled this love in many others as well.
