Plant nurseries in Vizag that gardening enthusiasts must visit

According to a recently released report by Greenpeace India, an independent global campaigning network, Visakhapatnam stands as the most polluted city in South India. The air pollution levels have increased in the city at an alarming rate between November 2020 and November 2021. This is causing major concerns among the Vizagites, and they opine that we will need to continue wearing masks especially because of the existence of COVID-19 and other variants. Over the last few years, the density of traffic has also increased in the city, making it one of the major factors for the spike in air pollution. One cannot fail to notice that a large number of trees are being cut down since the last few years, for setting up electric and internet supply across the city. Amid this chaos, the people of Vizag have become much more aware of the significance of growing plants and trees in their surroundings. The number of gated communities across the city have been focusing on providing its residents with a green and safe environment, thereby ensuring the supply of clean air in the surroundings. Most of the Vizagites are now taking the initiative of growing plants in their homes and apartments.
