Bioaesthetic planning embraces landscape gardening as well. The objective of a bioaesthetic planning for India is the encouragement of planting of selected ornamental flowering trees in our towns & villages.
The bio-aesthetic planners are master artists whose canvas is an entire country & whose pigments are beautiful flowering plants. They paint the canvas of countryside in vibrant colors like blue, orange, red, yellow, scarlet & pink. With colorful flowering trees, they decorate the sidewalks of the roads, platforms of railway stations, the canal banks, the compounds of houses & the public buildings.
Double avenues of trees are a necessity in big cities where wide roads are available. The outer row should be composed of large foliage trees & the inner row should be of ornamental flowering trees.
Following are the schemes for summer flowering trees along the roads of India:
Trees that flower in February & March:
- Bauhinia variegata (purple-mauve)
- Spathodea campanulata (Orange-crimson)
