Instead of Buying a Shirt, Hasmat Bought a Sapling: His 12-Bigha Garden of Rare and Endangered Plants

It may sound unusual to spend money saved for a new shirt on a plant instead. Yet that seemingly modest decision changed Hasmat’s life and eventually gave rise to a remarkable 12-bigha garden filled with rare, uncommon and endangered plant species. What began with the purchase of a single sapling gradually evolved into a large-scale personal initiative dedicated to plant collection and conservation. Today, his garden represents much more than a private green space. It is an example of how individual passion, patience and sustained stewardship can contribute to the preservation of botanical diversity.
