About Urban Gardening Coaching
Why I Garden
For me, gardening is healing. My day just feels lighter when I step out to my terrace and see green everywhere, even if it’s just a few pots. I love eating real food straight from my own plants - no chemicals, just honest taste. Sometimes, just picking a single ripe tomato makes all the stress melt away. Jo sukoon milta hai na (the peace I get)... only fellow plant lovers will get it.
Small Spaces, Big Dreams
You don’t need a big backyard. I’m in a rented flat, but have over 70 fruit trees and tons of veggies growing in containers and grow bags. If you’ve got a balcony, a sunny window, even a patch on your terrace, you can create a mini jungle. Busy life? No problem. We’ll work with what you have.
What My Coaching Covers
- How to grow everything from tomatoes and beans to mangoes and guavas using just pots or grow bags - perfect for an urban balcony vegetable garden setup.
- Container gardening tips for apartments: choosing the right pots, vertical planters, and maximizing whatever space is available.
- Going totally organic - making your own compost and fertilizers from kitchen waste, and using natural fixes like neem oil for organic pest control.
- Step-by-step help for beginners: starting from seeds, cuttings, or even kitchen scraps, plus my shortcuts for faster harvests.
My Way of Teaching
I like to keep it simple and hands-on. No complicated jargon, just real talk based on my own trial and error. We’ll celebrate every new sprout and leaf together. If you want to grow your own food, I’m here to show you how, right from scratch.

My Story
Hi, I’m Sushma. My garden on the terrace is my happy place - not the party scene, just me and my plants. I started this because I was fed up with pesticides in food, and now, no more buying lemons! Sometimes, nature throws in a surprise, like a squirrel planting guava seeds for me. It’s not fancy, but it’s real. Growing my own food makes me feel peaceful, and I love sharing this with my online family.
