Behind the Scenes: Our Gardening Process and Team
We are more than just a service, we are your friendly neighbourhood gardeners. Get a peek into our daily life, our amazing team, and the real-world stories behind the gardens we care for.
This is me, Keerthi. When you find a plant that matches your dress, you have to take a picture. I'm the owner of this small business, a mom, and a full-time plant lover. With my incredible team, we are navigating the challenges of this industry and loving it.
This is a funny story about one of our clients. She once cleaned her entire garden just because she was meeting me for breakfast at my place, not hers. I want to assure all our clients, our job is to help you, not to judge you. So please chill and call us.
Our team members often get some furry supervisors on site. These two good boys were keeping a close eye on the repotting process, making sure everything was done perfectly. We love working in pet friendly homes.
It looks like the new orchid plant has been approved by the head supervisor. Getting a gentle boop from a golden retriever is definitely one of the perks of the job.
We don't just tend to gardens; we collect stories. This is a clip from a follow up visit, with our client Ofelia proudly talking about her garden. Not a single plant has died here since we set it up in 2019. That's a record.
Landscaping is back breaking work, but it's also flexible, fun, and full of serotonin. From riding in a work vehicle to watching kids play, these are the moments that keep us happy and energized.
These pictures mean a lot to me. This is the place where I started, with the plants we grew and my amazing staff who are always so enthusiastic. I'm so grateful for my team.
A quick look back at our month. It was filled with site visits, new projects, team work, and a whole lot of sweat. We are wrapping up the month on a happy note and looking forward to what's next.
This is what it feels like to be in a long distance relationship with my garden. It's been too chilly to enjoy my morning coffee outdoors, but I'm looking forward to warmer weather and lots of new growth for my plant babies.
About Behind the Scenes: Our Process & People
People often apologize for their messy balconies when we arrive, but please, do not. We have seen it all, from forgotten corners to struggling plants, and our only goal is to get your green space thriving again. We are here to help, not to judge, so let's get your hands dirty together.
Gardening is not just about the final look, it is about the grit that goes into it. Whether it is scrubbing pots to remove hard water stains, loosening compacted soil, or the back-breaking work of repotting a massive plant, we love the process.
Our No-Judgment Approach
We have heard all the excuses. You forgot to water the plants for a month. You accidentally killed a cactus. It happens. We believe that plants are therapeutic, not another source of stress. When we show up, we are not looking at what went wrong, we are looking at how to make it right. We treat your plants like our own 'plant babies' and focus on reviving them, not analyzing past mistakes.
The 'Low Light' Myth
One thing we constantly talk about with our clients in North Bangalore is the 'low light plant' myth. There is no such thing. Every plant needs light to thrive, not just survive. Part of our process during visits involves rearranging your layout to ensure every leaf gets the light it deserves. It is these small, practical changes that make the biggest difference in a garden's health.
Meet the Team
It is a small, mostly women-led team hustling across North Bangalore. From our site visits to the moments we spend with our clients' furry, four-legged supervisors, we try to keep things real. We are not just a service provider; we are local plant lovers who believe in sustainable practices, like upcycling old containers and using organic soil enrichments. If you are looking for someone to help you manage your balcony or terrace garden without the corporate fuss, we are right here.
