Not long ago, Dhaka's botanical gardens were the city's lungs, offering a much-needed breath of fresh air amidst the urban sprawl. However, the relentless march of urbanisation has transformed the once-verdant landscape of the capital into a concrete jungle, dominated by towering structures and swarms of mechanical vehicles.
Who does not love to walk barefoot on the dewy grass and bask in the freshness of nature? Nature heals, and studies show that being surrounded by greenery can reduce our stress, anxiety, and even anger, and generate pleasant feelings. Nowadays, we find the sight of vegetation in the urban areas of our country very rarely, and it seems like Dhaka has been rid of its greenery completely. To promote urban plantation, Green Me — an urban greening and farming service provider — started its journey in 2019.
Dhaka losing its greenery is the tip of a colossal iceberg
Monsoon is dreamy for some and exasperating for others, yet it is the best season in Bangladesh. The rivers are full and abundant with sweet water fish, nature is at its greenest best.
