Our Plant Sourcing & Selection Process
We believe great gardens start with healthy plants. We personally travel to Pune nurseries to hand-pick every shrub, tree, and ornamental variety for your landscape.

About Our Sourcing & Plant Selection
I personally head to nurseries in Pune to inspect the health, root structure, and foliage of every plant we source. When you see our work, you are seeing plants that we have already vetted for vitality and adaptability to Mumbai’s climate, whether it is high-contrast Cordylines or flowering Bougainvillea. We don't just buy what is available; we choose specimens that have the strength to thrive in your specific garden conditions.
Quality Control at the Source
Great landscaping is only as good as the raw materials. By cutting out the middleman and visiting nurseries in Pune directly, we ensure that every plant arriving at your site is healthy and free from stress. We check for sturdy stems, vibrant leaf color, and active root systems, so you aren't left dealing with plants that wither a week after installation.
What We Look For
We prioritize plants that are not just beautiful but suited for the Mumbai and Thane region. Our sourcing list typically includes:
- Flowering Accents: Vibrant Bougainvillea, tropical Heliconias, and dwarf Nerium for color.
- Structural Interest: Dracaena marginata and various palms that provide height and architectural shape.
- Ground Covers: Hardy Cordylines and Crotons that offer reliable, colorful foliage.
Tailored Selection for Your Space
Our approach changes based on the project. For a commercial campus in BKC, we focus on screening plants like Bamboo or dense shrubs that require minimal maintenance. For private villa gardens, we take more risks with delicate ornamental varieties to create visual depth. We look for 'immediate impact' plants that make your green space feel established from day one, rather than waiting years for growth. When we load up the truck for a project, we are bringing a carefully calculated mix of shade-lovers and sun-seekers designed to survive the local humidity and heat.
Greenkam
I’m Mayur, and I believe that if the plant isn't healthy at the nursery, it won't thrive in your backyard. That is why I am usually the one on the ground inspecting the crop myself, making sure only the strongest plants make the cut for your garden.
