Information on 100 heritage/ rare/unique/bio-diversified trees in Lodhi Gardens has already been made available through QR code scanning, which provides details of a tree, including its age, lifespan, botanical name, common name, blooming season among others.

“The QR code is a machine-readable code consisting of an array of black and white squares, typically used for storing web-links or other information for reading by camera or a smart-phone,” explained the official.

The council will also develop fine theme gardens such as herbal garden, topiary garden, cacti, succulents garden, fine garden, Brielle garden, etc.
