Our Story: A Root Back to the Roots
Our founder began his working life at 24 and started this nursery in retirement, prompted by something he noticed rather than a business plan. He grew up with the smell of soil after the first rain and dew sitting on leaves at dawn. A generation raised amid air conditioning, concrete and screens has often never encountered petrichor at all. The idea behind this nursery was simple: one green corner can change how a whole home feels, and getting there should not be complicated.
What We Grow and Deliver
Our catalogue is built around how people actually live with greenery in Indian homes. You will find indoor plants sized for apartments and rented flats, hardy outdoor plants for terraces and boundary gardens, seasonal flowering plants that bloom through summer, monsoon and winter, and a wide cactus and succulent range for sunny windowsills. Alongside these sit medicinal and aromatic herbs, fruit and spice saplings, climbers, and Vastu plants chosen for entrances and prayer corners.
New gardeners usually start with our low maintenance plants, which forgive a missed watering. From there, people tend to shop by room — greenery for the living room, calming bedroom plants, compact desk companions for the office and study table, humidity-loving varieties for the bathroom, herbs for the kitchen, and trailing hanging plants for balconies where floor space is scarce. Planters, potting mix, fertilisers and garden tools are stocked too, so a new arrival settles in easily.
How We Ship Across India
Orders are packed and dispatched within 2–3 business days and usually reach the doorstep in 2–7 business days, depending on destination. A tracking link goes out on the registered email or WhatsApp number as soon as the parcel leaves the nursery.
Live plants are not returnable — sending them back through the courier network a second time causes stress few saplings survive. Instead, each plant is handpicked before packing, and our team stays available afterwards for care guidance. Non-plant items such as planters, tools and fertilisers can be returned unused within 7 days of delivery. Damage or transit claims need a clear, continuous unboxing video recorded while opening the parcel.
