She takes us back to a time when Punjab\u2019s landscape was largely dominated by Kikar (Acacia) and Tahli (Shisham\/Indian rosewood), and shares the story of how ornamental and flowering plants were introduced to the region as part of Dr. M.S. Randhawa\u2019s vision for landscaping Punjab. Dr. Gill\u2019s late father, Hari Singh Sandhu, played a role in bringing that vision to life. His work and the memories surrounding it became the inspiration for her book, documenting the beginnings of landscape architecture and the transformation of Punjab\u2019s landscape.
