From IT Major Accenture, a group 60 strong paid a visit to Hariyali Nursery at Kasar Vadavali on 27^th March, 2010.

This was their first visit to Hariyali Nursery.

It was a group of highly energetic people, and they showed a definite commitment to their responsibilities towards Environment.

Shree Madhukar Date narrated the objectives of Hariyali.

100% commitment from the young one!

They were explained the working of Sapling making, reasons for transferring them to Green House, transferring them to larger Polybags, acclimatization of the saplings to natural surroundings and then transplanting them at their permanent site in the barren hills of Bhavale.

They sowed 325 seeds mainly of Beheda, transferred 310  Sagargota saplings from smaller bags to larger bags and shifted from shade to sun 154 grown up saplings , including 59 saplings transferred to the larger polythene bags (weighing about 6 kgs each)

The 2 hour work ended by 12 noon.

On the whole, the group did excellent work. Even the four kiddies who accompanied the group did there bit with 100 % commitment!

We feel that they are hooked to plantation activity! The Group leader had our calendar of activities and the Group members expressed strong desire to participate in our future activities 

On the day of Gudhi Padwa, a Chitra Rath yatra was organnised by Kopineshwar Sanskritic Sansthan, Thane. The Yatra went round the main roads of Thane and the was cheered by the on-lookers who had gathered on the road sides. The atmosphere was charged with festivity and energy.

Hariyali prepared the Chitra Rath with Posters displaying their message of  Water Conservation and planting of trees.

Many Beautiful Plants on a Single Brick

Mrs Aditi Date, one of Hariyali’s very active members organized a workshop at our Kasar Vadavali Nursery on 21^st March 2010.    

Mrs. Temghare a very   well-known Horticulturist was invited to give a talk and also hold a Demo on  how one can create beautiful Green Corner in ones’  apartment.    

She showed variety of plants suitable for indoor cultivation and how with very simple methods these can be looked after and also decorate the apartment.    

She also showed how one can make manure from discarded parts of vegetables and at the same time grow vegetables in ones balcony!    

The most interesting and eyecatching Demo was growing almost 6 to 7 small plants on only a common brick by creating a small cavity in the brick and putting small quantity of soil and manure in it.    

The workshop was well attended by members as well as persons from nearby housing societies.
