George, you are a great motivation,, an inspiration to our tree-hacked, suffocating city. You are the wind beneath the wing of these young budding environmentalists striving to change what the older ones have destroyed and creating a new genre of interested people who will soon become professionals in this unbeaten path. God bless your effort .

[@turningtidefoundation6080]

Thank you so much teacher. You've inspired us so much

Our Cooperative Society in Mumbai also had such forest in 80-90s but now as many members have cars 🚗 the garden had to be converted into parking spots 😕

[@naturesudhar]

[@wackousersden4726]

A Scroll video is enough make your entire month

[@rubinderpreetkaur2470]

Great initiative 👍 thanks to all these people who are working so hard for the protection of our environment and certainly in future, these fruits would help the needy people 😊. Two things that are conservation of environment as well as social welfare are being done at the same time.

Seems copy of a Miyawaki forest. Still I feel Miyawaki forest is a better option than this food forest 👍

[@anoopchandrahasan7818]

[@gerardmanfroid1860]

This is a great series ...unfortnatgely corruption and no specific plans have let to this city's woes. Hope the younger millenials can find the motivation ..and monsy to move things forward ! (Jut a note for the producers...I don't know if this series is only for Indians but I don't understand anything about your 'crores' and 'lakhs'...thousands, a hundred thousand etc...is that difficult to include ?

Grow plant like red goji berry, Barbados cherry, long mulberry, fig, rose apple(gam), chiku, laxman phal... To creat eco system for birds.... Or flower plant like kanchanara.. Where huming birds enjoy. Easy to grow and you can grow in big flower pots...
