Since 2021, the British government has run a tree-planting programme in Commonwealth countries to heal the planet through greening. Under this Queen's Green Canopy initiative, started by Queen Elizabeth II, Bangladeshi fruit trees have now been planted in the yard garden of the British High Commissioner in Bangladesh.
A garden of Bangladeshi produce
The yard of the residence of British High Commissioner Robert Chatterton Dickson is rich with Bangladeshi fruits and crops. Contact with creative farming and produce here has inspired him to take an interest in agriculture alongside his diplomatic work. He calls Bangladesh's success in feeding a large population from a small area its greatest achievement.
Praise for the media
He also praised the media's role in spreading rooftop and yard farming to tackle climate change and global crises. Shykh Seraj said he was overwhelmed by the beautiful garden and hopes many more will follow and enrich their yards with Bangladeshi fruits and crops.
