Mumbai, 21st October 2024: Growel's 101 Mall in Kandivali has unveiled Mumbai's first-ever botanical walk, an innovative green space designed to engage and educate visitors, with a special focus on fostering a connection with nature amidst the city's concrete jungle. The initiative aims to offer a serene retreat while promoting environmental awareness and sustainability. The inaugural event was marked by a visit from students of La Stella International Montessori, who were among the first to experience this unique fusion of nature and urban life.
Set within the mall compound, the botanical walk is not only a visual delight but also serves as a living classroom, offering a rich edutainment experience for visitors of all ages. The walk showcases a diverse collection of plants, flowers, herbs that highlight the importance of biodiversity, sustainable practices, and ecological balance. During their visit, students participated in guided tours and learned firsthand about sustainability enhancing their understanding of the environment.
Santush Pandde, COO - Real Estate at Grauer & Weil (India) Limited (Growel’s 101 Mall), expressed his excitement, “We are thrilled to be the first mall in India to launch a botanical walk, and it was wonderful to welcome the students from La Stella International Montessori as our inaugural guests. This walk is more than just an attraction; it is a place for young minds to connect with nature, appreciate its significance, and cultivate a deeper understanding of sustainability. With this initiative, we are not only offering a unique experience but also taking significant strides towards meeting our ESG goals”.
In a city like Mumbai, where green spaces are scarce and the urban landscape is dominated by high-rises and busy streets, the botanical walk at Growel's 101 serves as a critical green lung, offering visitors a refreshing escape from the concrete environment. The walk also aligns with the mall’s broader mission to give back to the community through initiatives that promote environmental and social well-being. Growel's 101 is actively engaging the community at large through a variety of environmental and social initiatives, empowering local residents to participate in sustainability efforts.
The botanical walk is one such initiative now open to public, schools, community groups, students interested in botanical study. It is designed not only to beautify the space but also to serve as a hub for community-driven activities from gardening workshops to environmental awareness campaigns. It represents a perfect blend of recreation, education, and social engagement, enhancing the shopping mall experience in a meaningful way.
