 This event happened today. A total of 15 members attended. We were taken
 around the botanical garden to identify a few notable trees by Mr Krishnam
 Raju, and his colleague Mr Thimmaraya. A few members from other NGOs who
 love trees had also joined the meet.

 Our next target is to get access to the libraries and the archives. The
 library is closed on Sundays and public holidays. Hence this will have to
 be on a Saturday.

 Another good outcome at the end of the day's meet was visit to the
 Director's office to thank them before leaving. Arjuna and Omshivaprakash
 met the Director along with me. This meeting and a demo of QR code by
 Omshivaprakash resulted in the Director requesting for a training of his
 department personnel on 4th Jan 2013. They wish to expand the scope of
 support beyond Lal Bagh and cover Horticulture in general. Their enthusiasm
 and excitement are good signs for further collaboration.

 Omshivaprakash will be organizing the training. Hopefully this can be
 followed by access to the Library and the archives.

  Hi Shyamal,
 
  You are welcome to invite others. Just wait till Tuesday. I plan to meet
  the Director on Tuesday and will confirm to you.
  The wealth of information you posted is very interesting. I guess we
 need
  to form category specific interest groups for greater shared interest.
 
  For long i have wondered how to revive Bangalore meets. Meets for
 talking
  and sharing do not seem to enthuse many. Meets to do some joint action
 is
  more appealing.
 
  I have invited some people from UAS, GKVK  too. Let us see how things
 work
  out. If the invited team from UAS carries back nice memories more
  enthusiasts from UAS can join us in future ventures too.
 
  Regards,
  Sowmyan

   Sowmyan, this is great news indeed! I know a number of people who are
   interested. It would be great if some of their archives can be
 accessed.
   Most of the trees that are out there are somewhat more readily
 accessible
   as indeed are the ornamentals.
  
   There are some really historic material including some amazing artwork
   (some of which I believe is by some unfortunately little-known
 botanical
   artists like K. Cheluvayya Raju who died more than 70 years ago).
   There is probably some interesting material related to G H Krumbiegel,
  Hugh
   Cleghorn and the Agri Horticultural Society.
   There are also some interesting publications made by the Horticulture
   Department that are largely inaccessible - over the years I have had
   enquiries from the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh for looking up a
  book
   called Glass House – The Jewel of Lalbagh published in 1991 that has
   hardly been seen by people who are interested in it. I have likewise
 had
   requests for archive data relating to John Cameron (Krumbiegel's
   predecessor).
  
   There is also a great deal of as yet un-written history on plant
   introductions such as
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chayote (Seemay Badnekayi = foreign
   brinjal
