Greenish

You’ll find us at 4 Mayfair Garden Market, which is quite handy since the Hauz Khas Metro Station is right nearby. Being so close to the station means we get a lot of people just passing through on their way home. We’ve got plants everywhere, which I suppose is obvious given the name Greenish. The shop is a bit small, so we have to be careful where we put the pots so nobody trips. Most of our morning is spent watering things and making sure the soil is just right. It’s a lot of dirt under the fingernails and humid air, especially when the sun hits the glass. We don't have a big corporate strategy or anything like that. We just like having greenery around and helping people find something that won't die the minute they get it home. It gets a bit messy sometimes with the potting soil and the stray leaves on the floor, but that’s just how it is when you work with plants. The market itself is a nice little spot, and we know most of the other shopkeepers around here. Sometimes we just sit out front on a stool when it’s quiet and watch the people coming from the metro. It’s a simple way to spend the day. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop in town, just a place where you can find a decent plant and some honest advice. It’s nice to see the same faces every day.
