Setting Up Your Pooja Garden
Transform your balcony or terrace into a sacred, green sanctuary with simple organic methods, perfect for daily offerings.
Don't throw away old paint buckets. With a few drainage holes and a good potting mix, they can be reused as excellent, deep containers for growing plants like roses, helping you create a garden sustainably.
Sometimes, container plants grow so big they need a permanent home in the ground. Here, I am transplanting some of my older flower plants into a ground space, giving them more room to grow and flourish.
My holidays were spent creating my dream garden in a new space. This video shows the process of transplanting new plants, arranging them in pots and on the ground, and giving them their first watering in their new home.
This is the journey of shifting my entire garden to a new home. It was a lot of work, but I am so happy to have more space now to grow even more plants. A new garden means a new beginning and new lessons to learn.
To get my new garden ready, I spent a weekend painting all my old plant stands. A fresh coat of paint not only protects them from rust but also gives the entire garden a clean and organized look.
Even small curd boxes can be given a new life in the garden. Here, I show how I paint and decorate them to turn them into cute little planters for small flowers or herbs. It's a fun way to upcycle and add color to your space.
About Setting Up Your Pooja Garden
You do not need a big farm to have a sacred garden. I often repurpose clean kitchen containers, like old curd boxes, as planters for my jasmine and tulsi. By mixing garden soil with coco peat and organic compost, even a small corner of your balcony can become a healthy home for the plants you offer at the lotus feet of Kannaya.
Creating a pooja garden is a personal journey of devotion. Whether you have a sunny terrace or a small apartment balcony, the goal is to cultivate plants that bring peace and fresh flowers for your daily rituals.
I offer two ways to help you get started:
Virtual Pooja Garden Setup (₹499–₹799)
If you are just starting out, this 60-minute session is designed for you. We will assess your balcony's sunlight duration and direction together to see which plants will thrive. We will select the right variety of Tulsi (Rama or Krishna) for your space and create a list of hardy blooming plants like Hibiscus or Nandyavardhanam that are perfect for daily offerings. I will also guide you on Vastu-compliant placement and how to prepare a healthy soil mix using garden soil, river sand, and cow dung.
Full Terrace Garden Mentorship (₹1999–₹2999)
For those looking to commit to a larger space, this one-month program covers everything. We will design a layout for 20+ pots to maximize sunlight, set up smell-free kitchen waste composting, and plan for festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi by growing specific sacred leaves. You will get step-by-step guidance on setting up a lotus pond, recharging old soil with homemade liquid fertilizers from banana and onion peels, and learning how to prune your plants so they bloom just in time for Varalakshmi or Diwali.
I believe in 100% organic methods. From making your own natural pest repellents with neem oil to simple drip irrigation hacks, I teach you to garden without harsh chemicals. This is not about perfect show-gardens, but about the joy of offering flowers grown with your own hands.
