Hey all,
How are your
beautiful gardens growing? Any new gardeners?
Many Indian cities are coming up with innovative ideas for terrace gardening. In cities like Bangalore and Delhi, many balcony gardens are springing up. There are more than 8 -10 organizations who help you start a terrace garden. Depending on the type of crops grown, at least these gardeners get 400 grams of vegetables per week. Many vouch for the fact that terrace gardening is a good way to start a day and is refreshing to engage in 10-15 minutes of gardening every day after a morning coffee.

Not just
residential buildings, colleges and public institutions have a huge potential
for this as they have lots of open spaces in addition to terrace. If we all
start growing plants in our balconies and terrace, how beautiful and green the
cities will be!
Do comment/email the details and photos of your beautiful gardens to
Cheers!
