Meet Prajwal & Poornima: The Green Minds Behind Our Balcony Garden
We are a husband-and-wife team on a mission to turn Mangaluru’s concrete spaces into green sanctuaries, one plant at a time.
Together in all our ups and downs, because it’s “Our” Balcony Garden. Here we are, Prajwal and Poornima, at our booth during a BNI expo, ready to help Mangalore go green.
We were so honored to be featured on the cover of Property World Magazine. In the article, we shared our story and our mission to bring nature into urban homes and workspaces.
It was a proud moment to see our work featured in this "Leaders of Change" newspaper article. It highlights our effort to create a green oasis in Mangaluru through plant gifting and landscaping.
Prajwal here, sharing a bit about our journey. We started in 2018 with a simple idea: gift a plant. This video explains how we grew and what makes us different, from custom planters to on-site consultations.
Poornima here, giving a quick overview of everything we do at Our Balcony Garden. From balcony makeovers and landscaping to corporate gifting solutions, we have expanded our wings to cover all your garden needs.

About Meet Us: Prajwal & Poornima
It started in 2018 with one simple thought: why give bouquets that fade when you can gift something that keeps growing? We're Prajwal and Poornima, and at Our Balcony Garden, we handle everything from custom fiber planters that match your wall paint to selecting "hard-to-kill" plants for beginners. We believe in keeping it personal, practical, and tension-free—just like the plants we recommend.
When we started this in Namma Kudla, we weren't just looking to sell plants; we wanted to change how people perceive them. We found that most people were hesitant to own plants because of the maintenance worry. Our philosophy is simple: Apni chinta door rakhein (keep your worries away). We select plants that can handle a day or two of being forgotten, and we pair them with pots that actually look good in your home.
Why We Do It Differently
We know that walking into a nursery can be overwhelming. That is why we don't just stay behind the counter. We visit your site, understand your interior theme, and look at your available light. Whether you want a balcony makeover, a custom fiber planter in a specific color, or a vertical garden for your corporate office, we are there with you from the initial consultation to the final setup.
Our Process
- Free Site Consultation: We come to your home or office to check the vibe and sunlight levels.
- Personalized Recommendations: We suggest plants that fit your lifestyle—low-maintenance for busy professionals or statement pieces for decor enthusiasts.
- Custom Planters: We manufacture our own fiber pots, so you aren't stuck with standard sizes or colors. If you need a specific finish to match your sofa or wall, we can do it.
We have grown from a small idea into a team serving resorts, hotels, and homes across Mangaluru, but we are still the same couple who loves helping a first-time gardener pick their first ZZ plant. Come visit our store at Vertex Lounge in Mannagudda to say hello!
