Story telling through Images..

‘We have lost 73% of the world’s wildlife, a stark reminder of the magnitude of the biodiversity crisis’.

Ami Vitale is a National Geographic photographer, who hopes that her work will help awareness of the urgent challenges facing our planet.

The amazing thing about this years collection is that they weave a tapestry of powerful stories, each holding a profound message of hope.

‘Vital Impacts’ is a women-led non-profit organisation, where they try to harness the power of art and story-telling to support community-based conservation efforts and elevate visual journalists who are dedicated to sharing impactful environmental narratives.

‘Vital Impacts’ amplifies the perspectives, challenges, and solutions of local communities through art and environmental journalism.

Vital Impacts is making a significant difference in conservation through its initiatives. The organization has raised over $3.3 million to support local conservation efforts that safeguard biodiversity. It has also provided mentoring and direct grants to nearly 1,000 photographers from 79 countries, helping them document critical environmental issues.

Right from our childhood, we are accustomed to listening to stories from our grandmothers and the like. And we remember each story used to come with a learning for life time. Hence the importance of storytelling need not be overemphasized.

And combine it with visuals and the impact is that much higher and deeper. That’s what we do when we stage-play our ancient scripts like ‘Mahabharta’ and ‘Ramayana’.

✨ Emotional Connection – Images and narratives engage emotions in ways that words alone often can’t. A single striking photo can inspire empathy, joy, or even outrage, making issues feel personal and urgent.

Here’s a painting that evokes an emotional connection with conservation.

📖 Increased Retention – People tend to remember visual stories far more than just plain facts or statistics. A well-crafted visual story stays with the audience long after they’ve seen it.

🌍 Universal Language – Visual storytelling transcends language barriers. A compelling image or video can communicate across cultures, making complex topics more accessible to a global audience.

🚀 Driving Action – Seeing real-world stories unfold visually can prompt people to take action—whether it’s donating to a cause, sharing information, or joining a movement.

🔍 Perspective Shift – It helps people see things from different viewpoints. A powerful documentary or photo series can challenge misconceptions and open minds to new ideas.

Organizations like Earth Day Network have used art to inspire action. The famous Earthrise photograph taken from space in 1968 helped spark the modern environmental movement by showing Earth’s fragility.

Art has the ability to shift perspectives, evoke emotions, and drive action, making it a powerful force for conservation. Would you like to explore a specific project in more detail?

However, in the melee of the things around us, what matters is ‘Do we have enough time to look at this art form and understand’?

Gardening in the month of May

May has arrived and the days are getting warmer and longer. Summer is here , plant out summer flowers and get planning for autumn.

There are plenty of flowers and vegetables to sow and grown in May. If you had sowed seeds of summer flowers they will be ready to flower. Keep on checking for spidery mildew and bugs on zinnias Kochia, gomphrena, sunflowers, Rudbeckia etc.

Look after your finished spring bulbs for next year. Once they’ve gone over, resist the temptation to cut back the foliage. Instead, let it die and break down on its own and add liquid fertiliser all around the clumps. This will give you an even better display next spring.

If you have raised hedge plants in March, clip them to develop side shoots. Water them deeply.

Complete the making /developing new  lawns during this month so that it develops nicely in monsoons.

A surface mulching of coarse leaf mould to trees and shrubs will reduce the quantity of water required and maintain a more equable supply of moisture at the roots.

Young trees should be copiously watered along with light sprinkling every day. Besides watering, the surface should be regularly turned.

Optimise your watering regime — watering early and late to get the most out of your water — and start collecting and recycling water whenever possible.

Harden off half-hardy plants before you plant in containers or beds.You can still plant.  Make Summers hanging baskets with purslane, portulaca, adding good-quality compost, slow-release fertiliser , to keep them in top condition.

You can try making a few DIY bottles ,pipes with purslane and portulaca.

Hang pheromone traps in from May to August to monitor plum-fruit-moth activity.

Hang pheromone traps in apple trees to reduce codling moth. Pheromone traps are good for all cucurbit crops like cucumber, lauki, melon, karela etc.

Keep young fruit trees well watered while they are putting on rapid growth.

Remove blossom and fruits from newly planted fruit trees to help them establish properly during their first year.

Erect garden netting around soft fruit plants to prevent birds eating your crop.       

 Pepper, Brinjal Okra, tomatoes, Chilli can still be planted along with gourds and peanuts.

Looking after your lawn in May

Feed your lawn with a high-nitrogen fertiliser to encourage healthy green growth. Water the grass during hot weather — that’s particularly important for newly seeded or turfed lawns. Never allow new lawns to dry out.

Seeds of monsoon flowering Annuals can be sown . Like Balsam, cleome, cocks comb, mirabilis jalapa . You can try a double variety of balsam.

Plant caladium bulbs or plants to add colour in your garden .

Clear your beds of annuals, Fertilise then only plant .

Stay safe, take care and keep on gardening.

CARING FOR PLANTS IN SUMMER HEAT WAVE

During the months of May and June in the North Indian States of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi, when the temperature soars to 40 degree celsius and above, it’s almost catastrophic for the green plants around us and in our home gardens. The plants are not able to bear this kind of heat wave and they start dying. This happens due to lack of proper care.

How to care for the green plants in peak summer months:

1. The plants kept in direct sunlight need to be moved to shaded areas or green sheets should be used to create shaded spaces for their protection from direct heat.
2. Arrange the potted plants in clusters while placing the bigger foliage towards the back and smaller ones in front for maintaining the humidity and moisture evenly.
3. Mulching is another very good process of saving the plants from excessive dehydration and drying of soil in pots around the house and garden beds.
4. Mulching is done to prevent excessive evaporation of water due to strong sun and heat during summer. This is done by covering the soil by a layer of protective material which does not allow too much drying up of water and saving root damage thereby saving the plant from dying. These materials can be moss, wood chips, tree bark, dry thick leaves, coconut husk, hay, old newspaper cuttings, cardboard pieces etc.
5. Watering with care is very crucial for summer time in houseplants. There are two schools of thought regarding the timing of watering plants during summer months of May to Aug. One school says, watering in early morning hours is good as the roots will have moisture to be safe from excessive afternoon heat. The other school believes that watering at evening time is better as plants will retain all the moisture throughout the night and get required nutrients thru dissolved water. This will help in their healthy growth and protection from sunlight. One good measure of the water is to ensure that while watering the pot water should seep out of the bottom holes of the pots into the trays if kept. Thus we recommend watering during both morning and evening especially in the months of May and June. Another tip here is to check if the top soil surface appears dry by touching or otherwise, one can water the pots. This is to avoid excessive watering leading to rotting of the invisible roots within the potted plants.
6. Spraying the leaves with water during evenings, for keeping the plants cool and retaining some humidity in the air.
7. Keeping the pots on raised stands or round frames is a good idea to prevent the ground heat from heating up the pot surfaces. Watering the lawn in morning and evenings is a good practice for maintaining a nice green grass.
8. Use of chemical fertilizers is totally counterproductive to the health of our house plants or garden beds. Almost all like UREA, NPK, DAP, mustard cakes are heat produced in nature once dissolved in water to be applied to soil. So it’s better to avoid their use during the summer time.
9. Use of natural or organic manure is beneficial at this time. These can be cow dung manure, leaf manure, compost, vermicompost, liquified curd extract, neem cakes. For enhancing flowering in pots we can apply decomposed water with onion and banana peels at home. To prepare this soak onion peels and banana peels separately for a few days then extract just the water from above and dilute this decomposed water with normal water to put just little in flowering plants like Hibiscus, Jasmine, Periwinkle, Sadabahar, etc.

9. Another interesting tip for summers is to save water from the kitchen after washing daals, rice, vegetables and fruits etc for watering the pots around the house. During summers it’s better to save as much water as we can in our overcrowded cities.
10. Cutting and transplanting or changing of pots is better avoided in summers. Cutting the diseased or dry branches and leaves is only recommended during summer. General cutting and shaping can be avoided.Taking this kind of care is important as plants are very vulnerable to hostile hot weather.
11. For protection of plants from pests and insects use of chemicals is not good. So Neem oil, organic plant protector etc are to be applied from time to time. For treatment of Milli bug on flower buds and leaves a diluted solution of neem oil, shampoo and baking soda in water should be sprayed very frequently and judiciously. Another natural pest control solution is boiled neem leaves water to be sprayed after cooling the same. This helps in eradicating spider webs, and fungal attacks seen during summer on plants.

All the best and Enjoy the Greenery.

THE EARTH DAY: The day of empowerment

Our earth is in peril. Due to our greedy nature and so-called progressive measures, we do not mind playing with nature.

Hence, it is high time that we empower the young generation in looking after the nature for future generations.

Our society has been a front-runner in this cause under the leadership of Rama Tyagi.

Our society reached out to schools to encourage the children, to dirty their hands, and see the seedlings growing into full-bloom plants.

Fascinating Facts about Hemp

Hemp was the first crop grown in space. In 2019, scientists sent hemp seeds to the International Space Station to study how microgravity affects its growth. The Gutenberg Bible, one of the first books ever printed, was made on hemp paper. Many historical documents, including the U.S. Declaration of Independence, were written on hemp paper.

Hemp absorbs more CO2 than most trees. A single hectare of hemp can absorb up to 15 tons of CO2, making it an incredible tool for combating the changing climate. Hemp can be used to clean up radioactive soil. It was planted near Chernobyl to help remove contaminants through a process called phytoremediation. Hempcrete is stronger and more durable than concrete. Plus, it is carbon-negative, meaning it stores CO2 instead of emitting it.

Henry Ford built a car made from hemp in the 1940s. It was lighter than steel and ran on hemp-based biofuel. Hemp seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. They contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a perfect source of plant-based protein. The British Royal Navy relied on hemp. It used over 100 ton of hemp fibre per ship for sails, ropes and rigging.

In the 16th century, hemp was so valuable in the UK that farmers were legally required to grow it. Under the reign of King Henry VIII, hemp cultivation was mandated for its use in producing ropes, sails and textiles for the navy. The law even imposed fines on those who did not cultivate hemp on their land. This unusual law shows how essential hemp was for both the economy and the national security of Britain. Hempcrete is durable and can flex under pressure, making it less likely to crack or collapse in high winds.

Here’s a deeper look at how hemp has been an essential part of human civilization for thousands of years:

Hemp Fabric in Ancient Civilizations
Archaeological discoveries show that hemp was used as a textile fiber as far back as 8,000 BCE in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq, Iran, and parts of Syria and Turkey). Hemp fabric remnants have also been found in ancient Chinese tombs, dating back at least 6,000 years. These discoveries indicate that hemp was one of the first plants cultivated for its strong and durable fibers.

Ancient cultures used hemp to make:
● Clothing – Hemp fabric was breathable, long-lasting, and resistant to wear and tear.
● Ropes and fishing nets – Coastal communities valued hemp for its strength and resistance to saltwater.
● Paper – The Chinese were the first to make paper from hemp around 200 BCE, revolutionizing writing and record-keeping.
● Sacks and sails – Hemp’s durability made it ideal for storing goods and powering early sailing ships.

Hemp’s Importance in Ancient Medicine

Beyond textiles, hemp was also used in traditional medicine in China, Egypt, and India. Ancient records from 3,000 BCE describe its use in treating pain, inflammation, and digestive issues. The Atharva Veda, a sacred Indian text from around 1500 BCE, refers to hemp as one of the five sacred plants.
Hemp in Ancient Egypt.

Evidence suggests that the ancient Egyptians used hemp fibers to make ropes for building the pyramids. Some historians believe hemp was also part of their herbal medicine, used for pain relief and other ailments.

Hemp’s widespread use across different ancient cultures shows its versatility and significance throughout human history.

Happy Gardening.

Bonsai for the Beginners

For a beginner, the best bonsai plant is one that is hardy, adaptable, and forgiving of mistakes. Jade Plant ( Portulacaria afra ) is an excellent choice.

Why Jade Plant?

• Easy to grow: Thrives with minimal care.
• Drought-tolerant: Stores water in its thick leaves, reducing watering needs.
• Fast healing: Can handle pruning and shaping well.
• Indoor-friendly: Grows well indoors with bright, indirect sunlight.

Basic Bonsai Care for Jade Plant

1. Potting: Use a shallow bonsai pot with well-draining soil (cactus mix or bonsai soil).
2. Watering: Water when the topsoil is dry; avoid overwatering.
3. Sunlight: Needs at least 4-6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight.
4. Pruning & Shaping: Trim new growth regularly to maintain shape. Use wire for gentle shaping.
5. Fertilization: Feed once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Creating an Upright Jade Bonsai (Formal & Informal Styles)

The upright style (Chokkan & Moyogi) is a great starting point because it mimics the natural tree shape and is easy to maintain. Here’s how to shape your Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) into an upright bonsai:

1. Selecting the Right Plant

• Choose a young jade plant with a thick, straight trunk.
• It should have branches growing outward, not too clustered.

2. Choosing a Bonsai Pot & Soil

• Pick a shallow bonsai pot with good drainage holes.
• Use cactus mix or bonsai soil for drainage.
• Avoid regular potting soil—it retains too much water.

3. Initial Pruning (Structuring the Tree)

• Identify the main trunk and remove lower leaves to expose it.
• Select primary branches that grow outward (avoid downward or crisscrossing branches).
• Trim excess branches from the bottom to create a tapering effect (wider at the base, thinner at the top).
• Keep the top growth controlled to maintain balance.

Tip: If the trunk is too thin, allow the plant to grow freely for a few months before pruning.

4. Wiring for Shape (Only If Needed)

• Use aluminum bonsai wire to gently shape branches.
• Wrap the wire loosely around branches and bend them slightly upward to create an open structure.
• Avoid over-tightening; jade’s soft branches can break easily.
• Remove the wire after 3-4 weeks once the shape sets.

5. Watering & Sunlight

• Water only when the soil is dry (jade stores water in its leaves).
• Place in bright, indirect sunlight for at least 4-6 hours daily.
• Avoid overwatering, as jade is prone to root rot.

6. Maintenance & Growth Control

• Regularly pinch back new shoots to maintain shape.
• Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and trim roots.
• If the plant becomes top-heavy, prune the upper sections to balance it.

Long-Term Shaping

• Keep shaping over months to refine the classic tree silhouette.
• Encourage a thick trunk by allowing lower branches to grow slightly before pruning.
• Rotate the plant occasionally for even sunlight exposure.

The upright bonsai style gives your jade plant a majestic tree-like appearance while remaining easy to maintain.

गुरिल्ला बागवानी 

गुरिल्ला बागवानी, एक जमीनी स्तर का आंदोलन है । यह पौधे उगाने की एक गतिविधि है जिसमें लोग उपेक्षित सार्वजनिक या निजी स्थानों पर बिना अनुमति के पौधे उगाते हैं । मुख्य रूप से इसका उद्देश्य शहरी क्षेत्रों को सुंदर बनाना, समुदाय के लिए अप्रयुक्त भूमि को पुनः प्राप्त करना, जैव विविधता को बढ़ावा देना, सामुदायिक स्थान बनाना, ताजा भोजन पैदा करना, और प्रदूषित हवा को साफ करना है । यह सामाजिक न्याय और जलवायु प्रदूषण व वातावरण प्रदूषण को दूर करने का एक आंदोलन है ।

गुरिल्ला बागवानी में सड़क के किनारों पर देशी जंगली फूलों के बीज बिखराना, सड़क के किनारे लगे पेड़ों के बिस्तर में वसंत (पेड़ों की जड़ों की आसपास) के बल्ब लगाना, परित्यक्त संपत्तियों पर पौधे लगाना, जिससे खाली पड़े भूखंडों को सामुदायिक आवंटन में बदल जाते हैं और खाली जगह बगीचों में बदल जाती है । 

गुरिल्ला बागवानी का इतिहास 1970 के दशक में शुरू हुआ था, जब लिज़ क्रिस्टी ने न्यूयॉर्क शहर में खाली पड़े भूखंडों को बगीचों में बदल दिया था । यधयापि गुरिल्ला बागवानी की वैधता अभी भी अस्पष्ट है परन्तु कुछ जगहों पर इसे वैध कर दिया गया है । वास्तव में देखा जाये तो गुरिल्ला बागवानी एक ऐसा आंदोलन है जो शहरी क्षेत्रों में प्रकृति को वापस लाने और अप्रयुक्त भूमि को पुनः प्राप्त करने का एक तरीका है । 

गुरिल्ला बागवानी की शुरुआत सार्वजनिक लाभ के लिए शहरी भूमि को पुनः प्राप्त करने के लिए एक जमीनी आंदोलन के रूप में हुई थी, और इसने पिछले कुछ वर्षों में वैश्विक गति प्राप्त की है। हम अपनी Horticultural  Floriculture Society के द्वारा अपने हरियाली भरे शहर गाजियाबाद में उन स्थानों गुरिल्ला बागवानी करते हैं जो कि उपेक्षित पड़े हुए हैं ।

गुरिल्ला बागवानी कार्यक्रम को सुचारू रूप से चलाने के लिए अन्य कार्यक्रम भी अपनाए जा सकते हैं जैसे- 

विभिन्न स्थानों पर–

• “एक फूल लगाओ, एक जगह वापस पाओ-शहर को हरा-भरा बनाओ, अनुग्रह को अपनाओ”
•  “शहरों में बागवानी करो, प्रकृति की मेहरबानी पाओ”
•  “खाली जगह, बागवानी के लिए”
•  “हमारे शहर, हमारे बगीचे”
•  “खुली जमीन, हरे भरे सपने”
•  “बागवानी क्रांति, हरे भरे भविष्य के लिए”

इस प्रकार के नारे लिखे जा सकते हैं जिनका उद्देश्य उपेक्षित स्थानों को हरे-भरे व खिलते हुए क्षेत्रों में बदलना, मधुमक्खियों और तितलियों जैसे परागणकों का समर्थन करना, शहरी बागवानी में विभिन्न समुदाय के लोगों को शामिल करना, हरित स्थानों के महत्व के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाना आदि होता है ।

अप्रैल से मई तक में उपर्युक्त स्लोगन के साथ इसको क्रियान्वित किया जा सकता है । इसके लिए खाली भूखंड, सड़क किनारे की जगहें और उपेक्षित उद्यान या अपने घर के आसपास के स्थान का चयन किया जा सकता है । Horticulture Floriculture Society के द्वारा संचालित इस कार्यक्रम में विभिन्न समुदायों के सदस्य, स्कूली बच्चे, स्थानीय निवासी या पर्यावरण प्रेमी सभी भाग ले सकते हैं । 

अप्रैल से मई तक के महीनों का चुनाव करने का कारण है कि सर्दी के मौसम में तो प्रकृति स्वयं ही हरी भरी रहती है और पर्यावरण भी कम प्रदूषित होता है जबकि गर्मी में धूप तेज होने तथा जल की कमी होने के कारण हरियाली का स्त्तर कम हो जाता है और प्रदूषण की मात्र भी बढने लगती है, इसीलिए इस समय में गुरिल्ला पद्धति अपनाई जाती है । इस समय में उन्हीं फूलों का चुनाव किया जाता है जो गर्मी में पलावित व पुष्पित हो सकें । जैसे-सूरजमुखी, गेंदा, जंगली फूल, देशी झाड़ियाँ आदि । ये जमीन में पानी के स्त्तर और वातावरण में भी नमी को बनाए रखते हैं ।  

2. गर्मी के समय बागवानी के साथ साथ कुछ ऐसे कार्य भी किये जा सकते हैं जिनका उपयोग बरसात के समय में किया जा सकता है । जैसे- बीज बम बनाने की कार्यशाला आयोजित करना जिसमें बच्चों, बड़ों या बागवानी प्रेमियों को बीज बम बनाना और फेंकना सिखाना, विभिन्न समूहों को अलग-अलग स्थानों पर फूल लगाने के लिए नियुक्त करना, लोगों को परागणकों और शहरी हरियाली के बारे में शिक्षित करना आदि । 

3. जागरूकता वॉक-पोस्टर प्रदर्शन, फोटो प्रतियोगिता आदि के माध्यम से भी गुरिल्ला पद्धति के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जा सकता है । जो भी प्रतिभागी फोटोग्राफी में भाग लेना चाहते हैं उन्हें अच्छे दृश्य को कैप्चर करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करें ।

पोस्टर प्रदर्शन-में सूरजमुखी, तितलियों और हरियाली के साथ शहर के दृश्य को दर्शाते हुए एक रंगीन, आकर्षक पोस्टर बनाया जा सकता है । 

जागरूकता वाक् के अंतर्गत विभिन्न स्थानों की पदयात्रा करते हुए स्थानीय लोंगों को इसके साथ जोडा जा सकता है जिससे वे प्रक्रति के संपर्क में आकर जागरूक बन सकें । जैसा कि Horticulture Floriculture Society के सम्मानित सदस्य श्री अनिल अत्रये जी ने चंडीगढ़ में ट्री वाक ग्रुप के साथ जागरूकता पदयात्रा करते हुए उन स्थानों को चिन्हित किया जो किसी कारणवश उपेक्षित रह गए थे । 

4. प्रचार के माध्यम से लोगों तक पहुचने के लिए सोशल मीडिया-#Guerrilla Gardening Ghaziabad जैसे हैशटैग का उपयोग कर सकते हैं, स्थानीय स्कूल और कॉलेज के छात्रों को भाग लेने के लिए आमंत्रित कर सकते हैं, स्थानीय समाचार पत्रों और रेडियो स्टेशनों से कार्यक्रम को प्रसारित करवाया जा सकता है । साथ ही पर्यावरण समूहों के साथ मिल कर भी इस कार्यक्रम को किया जा सकता है ।

वास्तव में गुरिल्ला बागवानी के माध्यम से प्रकृति को हरा भरा बनाया जा सकता है । जब प्रकृति हरी भरी होगी तो वातावरण प्रदूषण मुक्त होगा और प्राणी स्वस्थ्य रहेंगे ।
