AIKGA Monthly Meet At SDA RWA Office

On a fresh July afternoon marked by the monsoon rains, the members of the Aikga community gathered at the SDA RWA Office for their much-anticipated monthly meeting. The convenors, Rachna Tiwary and Rekha Malhotra, had strategically planned the session with a focus on plant propagation, a critical activity best undertaken during the rainy season. The choice of the topic was apt, considering the advantages the season offers for propagating various plant species.

The highlight of the meeting was undoubtedly the presence of Mahesh Mishraji, an illustrious teacher and renowned expert in organic gardening. Despite having relocated to Jaipur, Mishraji continues to graciously make time for sharing his profound knowledge with the gardening aficionados of Aikga.

As punctuality is a cornerstone of any fruitful session, Mishraji arrived right on time, setting a fine example for the enthusiastic members who followed suit. The convenors, Rachna and Rekha, welcomed him warmly, signifying the beginning of an intellectually enriching morning.

He began by explaining the fundamental methods of propagation, which included cutting, layering, and division by roots, tubers, and rhizomes. To provide practical understanding, Mishraji demonstrated cutting and layering using a Bougainvillea plant. He also shared numerous hacks, particularly crucial for plant care during the rains, which are challenging times for both plants & gardeners.

 The members bombarded him with questions. Mishraji, with his vast reservoir of knowledge, addressed each one patiently, leaving no query unanswered.

The educational session concluded with a vibrant discussion among the members. The convenors had even arranged for a delectable spread of samosas and dhoklas, which were a delightful treat for the attendees. The social mingling over snacks added a warm, communal touch to the event, reinforcing the camaraderie within the group.

Before parting ways, the customary group picture was taken, capturing the essence of the session. In conclusion, the Aikga Monthly Meeting in July was not just an event but a milestone in the journey of local gardening enthusiasts towards greater knowledge and community bonding.
