Sagir Ahmed Nursery

Our nursery is located over by Dasna Gate in Rama Colony. It’s a quiet spot filled with a lot of green plants and flowers. We spend most of our time digging in the dirt or moving pots from one side to the other. Depending on the season, the colors change. Right now, there are a lot of marigolds and some roses starting to bloom. We have small saplings for trees too if you have space in your yard. The water pump runs a lot during the summer because the sun gets very hot here. People come by asking which plant needs more shade or how much water to give their money plant. We don't have fancy brochures, we just show them what is growing well. Sometimes the stray dogs wander in and sit under the trees for shade. It's a bit messy with all the bags of soil and empty terracotta pots piled up near the back. My clothes usually have mud on them by lunch. We started this a while back and just kept adding more varieties of plants. It is nice to see something grow from a tiny seed into a big bush. Rama Colony is a busy place but inside the gate here, it feels a bit calmer. We just keep planting and pruning as the days go by. It’s not a big corporate business, just a family-run nursery where we know most of the neighbors who stop by.
