About Garden Consulting
A garden has always been my best teacher. I’ve learnt patience, trust, and the joy of watching something grow, even if it sometimes means failing a few times before it works. If you’re feeling stuck with your space, or just confused where to begin, I get it. Most folks are! Sitting down and talking it out can make all the difference.
What I Offer
- I help you figure out what’s possible in your space, whether it’s a sunny balcony, tiny windowsill, or a big backyard.
- We chat about the basics: sunlight, wind, size, and choosing plants that actually work for Bengaluru’s weather. If you like low-maintenance gardens or want something wildlife-friendly, I’ll suggest options.
- Soil’s a big deal. I’ll help you understand yours and how simple compost or organic nutrients can make a real difference.
- If you want a butterfly garden, a peaceful Zen spot, or just more privacy, we can brainstorm themes and layouts together.
- I always include practical, organic pest control ideas so your garden stays friendly for kids, butterflies, and birds.
- Watering needn’t be a headache. I’ll explain easy ways to keep plants happy without wasting water.
Why Work With Me
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every garden is different, and we plan together. My team and I do everything from scratch - as Anil always says, "Tumba chennagi maadikodtivi" (We’ll do it really well for you). My biggest reward? Seeing your garden become a place you love.
