Lodhi Garden, opened as Lady Willingdon Park in 1936, celebrated its 90th anniversary on April 9. Spread across 80 acres in central Delhi, it contains four medieval monuments, bamboo groves, and over 5,400 trees across 210 species. Green Circle Delhi, a volunteer organization, has maintained the garden since 1992. The discussion at India International Centre highlighted the importance of long-term care for Delhi's fragile ecology and the Aravalli range.
