To honour these heroes that lend urban jungles their green covers, Dr Kothari took up a unique initiative — to felicitate gardeners in Mumbai. We hope to have more gardeners in the fray next year.”The gardeners were judged on the basis of their knowledge, skills, experience, and feedback received from their employers. The award was presented to the gardeners by renowned chemical engineer and Padma Vibhushan awardee Dr Man Mohan Sharma. Among the gardeners felicitated was Ramachandra Shilke, the chief gardener at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSVMS). That is my true award.”
