“What
is this life if, full of care,
We
have no time to stand and stare.
No
time to stand beneath the boughs
And
stare as long as sheep or cows.
No
time to see, when woods we pass,
Where
squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No
time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams
full of stars, like skies at night.
No
time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And
watch her feet, how they can dance.
No
time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich
that smile her eyes began.
A
poor life this if, full of care,
We
have no time to stand and stare “
----
William Henry Davies
Doesn't this poem
which we all learnt in our school days ring true to our ears today? In the fast
paced lives we live today we have lost our bond with Mother Nature. We long for long lost gardens and green
spaces in the concrete jungles of Mumbai, we long for pure and safe food for us
and our loved ones, we long for the pure and unadulterated joy of playing with soil……
Do you want to be a
part of a dream which envisions green food forests and farms on terraces and
spaces spread all across Mumbai? Do you want learn the magic of transforming
this Grey
INTO
this Green?
and PRODUCTIVE one?
Then join us to give wings to our dreams and
be a part of this transformation which will not only transform spaces but will
also transform you……
