Variety Nursery Farm

Variety Nursery Farm is tucked away at 3rd Begum Shahib 3rd Street, in the Makeys Garden area just off Greams Road. It’s a bit of a hidden spot if you don’t know where to look, but once you find us, it’s quite a change from the noise of the main road. We’ve been growing and selling plants here for quite a while. Makeys Garden used to be a lot greener, but we try to keep our corner of it as lush as we can. It’s a lot of manual work, getting your hands in the dirt and making sure everything is watered properly. We don’t have a big sales team; it’s mostly just us and the plants. People from around Greams Road come to us when they need something for their balconies or small gardens. The street is narrow and can be a bit tricky for parking, but our regulars don’t seem to mind. We aren't some big commercial garden center with trolleys and barcodes. We just know our plants and we know this neighborhood. Some days are slow, especially when it rains hard, but mostly there is always something to prune or repot. It is a quiet kind of life at the end of the street, and we like it that way. We just keep planting and hope the things we grow do well for people. We are just gardeners doing our thing.
