As a child, landscape architect Nandita Teaotia says conversations around (and about) nature were not unusual at home. Her father is a landscape designer, and her grandfather, a horticultural scientist. “[Because of that] I always had the benefit of being exposed to the environment, and learnt so much from it. It had become really important to me,” she shares. Over the years, especially through her work, she recalls noticing an utter disregard for nature, especially among adults.
