Krupa Rose Nursery

Our nursery is tucked away in Bapudham Sector 26, near Uruli Kanchan. It’s mostly rows of roses and some other local plants we manage to grow. The ground is almost always wet because we’re constantly watering the saplings. It’s a quiet life out here in Bori Aindi Phase 2. We spend our mornings checking for pests and making sure the soil is right for the new cuttings. We don't have a fancy entrance or a gift shop; it's just a field with some sheds for the younger plants. People drive out here when they want to start a garden or if they need some color for their porch. Sometimes the heat gets to the roses and we lose a few, which is always a shame. We don't use a lot of chemicals, just what's necessary to keep things healthy. My boots are usually covered in mud by noon. It’s a lot of bending down and digging, so my back hurts by the end of the day. We have some plastic pots stacked up in the corner for when someone wants to take a plant home. It’s not a perfect garden you see in magazines, it’s a working nursery. We grow things as they come. The seasons dictate what we have in stock. If it’s not rose season, we have less to show, but we’re always there working the dirt. We take things slow and watch the plants grow day by day.
