Props beside saplings and plants improve look of this colony in R. A. Puram

The Eco Green movement in R. K. Nagar, a colony in R. A. Puram is growing, say its motivators.

More and more residents are out on the streets on Sunday for an hour to green the public spaces.  Some people choose to plant saplings of their choice along their walls, some are bounding off saplings so they stay safe and grow well.

Some creative ones are using waste as props to make the sidewalks look smart. Recently, a discarded boat was moved into the area and the group intends to place potted plants on top of it.

With steady rains now and the monsoon not far away, this is the best time to green colonies.
