Our Story & Simple Gardening Tips for Beginners

How We Got Started

Back in 2018, we noticed a simple problem: everyone was gifting plastic bouquets that would just wilt away. We wanted to change that. 'Gift a plant, not a bouquet' became our motto, and it quickly turned into a movement across Mangaluru. What started as a small idea grew into Our Balcony Garden because we wanted to help people reconnect with nature, right inside their homes.

Why We're Different

We aren't a typical nursery. We are a team that visits your site to understand your interior theme. Whether you have a bright balcony or a cozy, low-light apartment, we match the plant and the planter to your space. We manufacture our own lightweight, customizable fibre planters in-house, so you get something that fits your decor perfectly.

Our 'No Tension' Approach for Beginners

If you've ever thought, 'I kill every plant I touch,' you are not alone, and you are definitely in the right place. Our approach to gardening is simple:

• Start Easy: We focus on resilient plants like Sansevieria (Snake Plant), ZZ plants, and Pothos that forgive you if you forget to water them occasionally.
• Right Soil & Potting: We use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil mixes enriched with slow-release fertilizer so your plants get the right foundation from day one.
• Personal Guidance: From choosing the right pot size to explaining how much light a Monstera needs, we guide you through the process.
