In celebration of the Lunuganga gardens 75th anniversary, Tree Talks podcast explores the lives of flora and ecosystems within the gardens. Bought on the eve of independence in 1948, Lunuganga is Geoffrey Bawa’s first and longest running architectural endeavour, join us as we unravel the intricacies of this living archive. This episode is in reverence to Lunuganga, to capture the essence of the garden, brimming with life and wonder, as an auditory experience. The vistas around the garden house varying ecosystems with their own soundscapes that change through the day. Changes in seasons bring with it shifts in care. The delicate and mammoth task of preserving and planning through the years are a credit to the custodians of the garden; this episode is our homage to the pulse of Lunuganga, the gardeners. This episode follows the auditory landscape from the Sandella, across the Red Terrace, beside the bamboo near the Black Pavillion, to the Field of Jars via the Broadwalk, a cut across the hâ hâ and finally a light trek to the peak of Cinnamon Hill. A map with the sites and sounds of this episode along with other resources are available on our websites.
