Grow By Green

Our shop is at No-14 South Avenue in Srinagar Colony, right by Little Mount in Saidapet. It is a nice enough spot, though the traffic on the main road nearby can be a real headache in the evenings. We deal with plants and greenery, so there is always a bit of dirt on the floor. We try to keep things watered and looking okay, but it is a lot of work. The sun hits the front of the building pretty hard in the afternoon. We spend a lot of time moving pots around to make sure everything gets enough light. It is just a few of us working here. We are not some big garden center, just a local place tucked into the colony. We get a lot of people walking their dogs or going to work who stop in to look around. Sometimes the leaves get a bit brown if we aren't careful, so we are always checking on things. It is a quiet kind of work most of the time. We have stacks of soil and empty pots in the back. It is not a very pretty sight behind the scenes, but that is how it is. We spend our days talking to people about what grows well in this heat. It is a simple life and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. We like being in this part of Saidapet.
