The use of Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest (TDEF) in Landscaping

The landscape of a hotel, private residence or factory compound provides a unique opportunity to restore the habitat for the faunal and floral components of this ecosystem, since in all most every instance the forest is shrinking in its natural environment.

To fully restore the original ecosystem of course will take time, but through careful planting and use of the existing vegetation it is possible to create a beautiful, varied, and lush vegetation from day one of the work finishing. Then over the years a vibrant and dynamic ecosystem will emerge that provide a serene and relaxing environment in which people will be able to enjoy their working and leisure time.

Auroville Botanical Garden is reintegrating the plants of the indigenous forest into modern day society by offering the services of these plants in landscapes. This is a win-win situation in that we achieve our aim of conserving rare and endangered species and at the same time we create landscapes that serve the needs of clients in terms of recreation and relaxation.

The Auroville Botanical Garden has been established in response to the disappearing Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest (TDEF) of the Coromandel Coast, South India, and to the global need for the conservation of genetic diversity in the plant kingdom in a wide range of climatic conditions.
