Samruddhi Occasion Flora

The shop is tucked away near A 1 Supre Bazar at 7th Mile, Konanankunte Cross. We are technically in Borivali West, though sometimes the directions make it sound more complicated than it really is. Working with flowers means you’re always fighting against the clock and the weather. Our space is filled with buckets and crates most of the time. It gets a bit cramped when we have a big order for a wedding or a local function. I usually have tea in the morning while looking at what came in from the wholesale market. Some of the roses are bruised, or the lilies haven't opened yet, and you just have to deal with it. My staff and I spend a lot of time trimming stems and sweeping up the mess. Borivali is a busy place, and the noise from the street usually drifts inside all day long. We don’t have a fancy showroom or anything like that. It’s a practical workspace where we get our hands into the dirt and water. People from the neighborhood stop by because they know we’re always here. We don’t do much advertising; the work just speaks for itself. It’s a lot of standing on your feet and dealing with picky stems that don't want to stay in place. We just keep at it, day after day, making sure things look decent before they head out the door.
