Delhi’s Sunder Nursery, which boasts of an arboretum with 300 tree species, will soon have a ‘Garden House’, where people can view tropical flora from Kerala and the Northeast as well as flora of the deserts of Rajasthan. Here, students will also be able to learn about Delhi’s natural heritage. What started as a nursery in the early 1900s as the British built the new Capital, it fed the city with native and exotic species of plants and trees. Post-independence, it moved from being a government nursery to becoming an important urban park developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). Edited by landscape architect and academic Geetawahi Dua and Archana Saad Akhtar, Programmes Director for Design & Outreach, AKTC, the event was attended by Luis Monreal, General Manager of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture; Srinivas Katikithala, Secretary Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs; Anil Rai Gupta, MD, Havells; book contributors; senior architects and government officials in the audience.
