Medicinal and Native Species Gardens
Your garden can do more than look beautiful; it can support your well-being. We help you integrate traditional, native medicinal plants into your landscape for a space that connects with nature and cares for your health.
This is the delicate, pine-like foliage of Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), a native Indian plant known as the 'Queen of Herbs' in Ayurveda. We use it in landscapes for its beautiful texture and profound medicinal value.
Here you can see the tuberous roots of the Shatavari plant, which give it the name "the plant with a hundred roots". This part of the plant holds its potent medicinal properties, making it a valuable addition to any wellness-focused garden.
The beautiful white flower of Shankhpushpi (Clitoria ternatea), a native climbing plant. Beyond its ornamental appeal, this plant is renowned in Ayurveda for its cognitive benefits, making it a perfect example of a plant that is both beautiful and functional.
This is the Foxtail Fern, an ornamental plant that adds a unique, lush texture to garden beds and planters. While primarily aesthetic, its inclusion in our designs is part of a broader philosophy of creating diverse, multi-layered green spaces.
About Plants with a Purpose: Medicinal & Native Species
Many people view plants solely as ornaments, but we see them as functional partners in your daily wellness. Integrating native species like Shatavari or Shankhpushpi adds texture to your hedges and balcony corners while providing a tangible link to Ayurvedic tradition right outside your door.
Native plants are more than just a trend. Because they have evolved in the local Mumbai climate, they are naturally more resilient than exotic varieties. When you choose to plant species like Shatavari or Shankhpushpi, you are doing more than decorating; you are creating a garden that requires less chemical intervention and water, all while supporting local biodiversity.
Why focus on medicinal plants?
We believe a garden should be an active part of your life. Whether you have a small window or a large terrace, we can integrate plants that offer real value. Think of Tulsi or Curry Leaf plants—these are not just green fillers. They are living, breathing additions to your daily routine that offer fresh ingredients or traditional remedies.
How we integrate them into your space
We do not just drop a few pots in a corner. Our design approach treats medicinal plants as structural elements. We use climbing plants like Shankhpushpi to create natural green screens or use hardy border plants to define your pathways. By mixing these with your existing landscape, we create a layered, multi-functional green space that smells better, looks distinct, and serves a purpose beyond just aesthetic appeal. If you are starting from scratch, we help you plan the soil conditions and sunlight access to ensure these plants do not just survive, but truly thrive.
