Garden Art

Down in Ambheta, near Billmora Nasari, that’s where you’ll find Garden Art. It’s a quiet place, mostly fields and trees around us. We spend our days working with stone, clay, and plants. It’s dusty work but peaceful. We didn't really plan on becoming a big business, it just happened because we liked making things for gardens. People saw what we were doing and asked if they could buy one. Now we have a whole yard full of pots, statues, and decorative pieces. Some are heavy and hard to move, especially when the ground gets muddy after a monsoon. We do things by hand mostly. Machines are okay but they don't get the details right. Our family has lived in this village for generations, so everyone knows where to find us. You won't see any shiny showrooms here. It’s more of a workshop and a storage area where things are stacked up. Sometimes the birds nest in the taller sculptures. We don't mind. It feels natural. When someone visits, we usually offer them some tea while they look around. We don't rush people. Choosing something for your home takes time. We try to make things that last, something that can sit in the sun and rain for years without falling apart. It's a slow way of living, but we wouldn't change it for anything. It’s just how we live and work every day.
