In addition to the above list, we also recycle flowers collected during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, which are seggregated, dried and powdered. These flowers include those that are cultivated such as marigold, gerbara, rose, tuberose. Some flowers provide colour whereas others are used simply to add fragrance or volume. We do not collect rare forest flowers for our colours, as we believe that this could negatively impact forest ecology. |
