Gardening Know-How: Tips & Tutorials

Here I share practical, easy-to-follow advice from my years of experience. These videos cover essential topics like composting, attracting birds, identifying ripe fruit, and my top 10 tips for beginners, giving you the confidence to start and maintain your own urban garden.

The Urban Jungle Transformation

See how our standard 30x50 Bengaluru plot has evolved from a construction site into a dense, green 'urban jungle'. These images and videos showcase the power of consistent effort and prove that you do not need a farmhouse to be surrounded by nature.

Harvesting Homegrown Fruits

This is the reward for all the patience and hard work. I grow a wide variety of fruits like avocado, dragon fruit, chikoo, lychee, and rose apple, all organically in my city garden. I can teach you the techniques to successfully grow these in pots on your balcony or terrace.

From Garden to Table

This is where the magic of gardening meets the joy of cooking. I show you how we use our fresh, organic harvest to create delicious and healthy meals, from creamy avocado toast and shakes to simple fruit platters. This is the ultimate reward of growing your own food.

A Haven for Birds

Our garden is a bustling 'adda' for local birdlife, with 49 different species visiting us. I share how simple additions like bird feeders and water baths can transform your urban space into a sanctuary for birds like parakeets, sunbirds, munias, and even hornbills.

Butterflies, Bees & Other Garden Friends

A healthy garden is buzzing with life. I believe in creating a chemical-free environment that attracts essential pollinators like butterflies and bees, as well as other fascinating insects. See the amazing lifecycle of butterflies and the tiny architects at work in our garden.

Exotic Plants & Beautiful Blooms

My garden is a mix of edible plants and beautiful ornamentals. I have a special love for rare and exotic species like Monstera, Anthurium, and Aristolochia, as well as fragrant flowers like Hoya and Champa. I can advise on how to care for these special plants.

Creating a Peaceful Oasis

A garden should be a sanctuary for the soul. I focus on creating a peaceful vibe with elements like the gentle sound of water fountains, soothing wind chimes, and thoughtful ethnic decor. I can help you transform your space into a personal retreat for relaxation and unwinding.
