JAYANTY NURSERY

JAYANTY NURSERY is located in Sikherpur, which is part of the Rajarhat area near Kolkata. It’s a green spot in the middle of a lot of new development. We spend our days outside with the plants and trees. It’s a lot of manual labor, digging in the dirt and making sure everything gets enough water. The North 24 Parganas soil is pretty good for growing things if you know what you are doing. We have all kinds of saplings and bushes around here. Sometimes the rains are heavy and we have to move things around so they don't get flooded. It’s not a fancy shop with air conditioning. It’s just a nursery where things grow. We have a few people who help with the potting and the pruning. It’s quiet work mostly. You hear the birds and the sound of the water hoses. People from the city come down to Sikherpur to find something green for their homes. We don't have a big sales pitch. We just show them what is growing well this season. Rajarhat is changing fast with all the big buildings, but our little corner remains pretty much the same. We wake up early to beat the heat and stay until the sun goes down. It’s a simple life at JAYANTY NURSERY. We’ve been at this address for a long time and the plants just keep growing. If you like being outdoors, it’s a good place to be. We just keep planting and waiting for things to bloom.
