We bridge that gap by visiting your site to analyze lighting and space constraints before suggesting a design, ensuring you do not invest in plants that will not survive. We handle the entire fabrication of our custom planters in-house, which allows us to match the color, texture, and size to your specific interior decor. ### Our Story: From IT to Muddy Hands Our journey began with a simple observation. Poornima, having worked in IT, and Prajwal noticed a recurring problem in Namma Kudla: people loved the idea of indoor plants but struggled with maintenance, styling, and finding quality materials. What started as a passion for gardening blossomed into Our Balcony Garden. We are not just suppliers; we are partners in transforming concrete jungles into living, breathing environments. ### Why We Do It We believe that a green space is more than just decoration; it is a source of positive energy. Whether it is a small apartment balcony, a busy office lobby, or a quiet terrace, we focus on making plants accessible and manageable. Our approach is straightforward: we handle the design, plant selection, and installation, so you can enjoy the greenery without the guesswork. ### Recognition and Quality We are proud to have been featured in Property World Magazine and recognized with the Times Business Award for Innovative Home Gardening Solutions. These milestones reflect our commitment to reliable, high-quality service. From in-house manufactured fiber planters that withstand our coastal climate to our faux plant setups that provide a lush look with zero maintenance, every element is chosen with care. ### How We Work We take the pressure off you. During our site visits, we look at your existing space, discuss your budget, and guide you on everything from Vastu-friendly layouts to plant care schedules. Our team ensures that by the time we leave, you have not just a new setup, but the confidence to keep it thriving. ## About Poornima Shetty We are Poornima and Prajwal, and we left our corporate jobs to help Mangalore find its green thumb. We believe that everyone, from busy professionals to cafe owners, deserves a space that feels like a natural escape.
