Sri Nandi Green Garden

We’ve been at Channaraya Complex on Silver Jubilee Park Road for a good while now. It gets pretty busy around here, especially with all the traffic coming through the 5 Silver Jubilee area. Most mornings, we’re just busy watering everything and making sure the pots look decent. It’s a lot of dirt under the fingernails, to be honest. People come in looking for something green to put on their balcony or in a corner of their yard. We don't have fancy displays, just rows of plants and some bags of soil stacked up near the back. The shop isn't huge, but we make it work. Sometimes the humidity in here gets a bit much, but that's just part of dealing with plants. We see a lot of regular faces from the neighborhood who stop by just to see what’s new or to ask why their fern is turning brown again. It’s mostly just us trying to keep things alive and healthy for whoever walks through the door. It gets dusty being so close to the main road, so there's always a bit of cleaning to do before we open up. We don’t really do anything flashy. It's just a place where you can find some shrubs or flowers without too much fuss. We usually have the radio playing in the background while we move things around or sweep the floor after a delivery arrives. It’s a simple living for us.
