Gardening Workshops: Learn Expert Plant Care in Mangalore
Join our hands-on gardening workshops to master soil mixing, plant selection, and the art of keeping your green spaces thriving in Namma Kudla.
In this episode, I break down how to plan a budget for your garden. I discuss the four key elements: creating a master plan, selecting high-quality plants, choosing the right pots for your budget, and the final curation process.
A common question I get is how much time to spend with plants. In this video, I share simple care tips for popular indoor plants like the Areca Palm, Aglaonema, and Marble Queen Pothos, showing that just a few minutes a day is all you need.

About this collection
Most people struggle with the same basics: overwatering, choosing the wrong soil mix, or picking a plant that doesn't match their light levels. In our workshops, we don't just talk theory. We get our hands dirty potting plants together and show you how to identify soil health, pruning needs, and the specific moisture signals plants give off so you can keep them thriving.
Gardening is often over-complicated, but it really comes down to a few core principles. My goal with these workshops is to strip away the guesswork and help you build confidence, whether you are managing a small balcony in Kadri or a large office space.
What we cover in our sessions:
- The Soil Science: Learn why store-bought soil often isn't enough and how to mix your own nutrient-rich substrate for indoor and outdoor pots.
- Plant-Specific Care: We move beyond generic advice. We discuss specific needs for favorites like Areca Palms, Aglaonemas, and Pothos—from light requirements to when to mist your leaves.
- Practical Pruning: Stop being afraid of trimming your plants. Learn the right techniques to encourage growth without damaging your specimens.
- Budget & Design: Learn how to create a master plan for your space that fits your budget, including how to select the right pot sizes and materials to ensure plant health.
These sessions are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners who have never touched a plant to experienced gardeners looking to refine their techniques. We keep our groups interactive so you have space to ask questions about your specific home environment. It is about more than just keeping plants alive; it is about creating a green sanctuary that brings positive energy to your daily life. If you have been looking for someone to show you the ropes in Mangalore, come join us for our next session.
