The Karnataka Hurticulture

The Karnataka Hurticulture is located at 50-E, near the Italian Embassy on Chandragupta Marg in Chanakya Puri, New Delhi. It’s a bit of an interesting spot because Chanakya Puri is so quiet and green compared to the rest of the city. Being right there by the embassy means we have to keep things looking decent, but inside our walls, it’s all about the plants and the dirt. We deal with all sorts of greenery and garden-related work. Sometimes we are busy helping with the landscaping around the neighborhood, and other times we are just tending to the plants we have on-site. The air feels a bit fresher on Chandragupta Marg because of all the trees. We aren't like those big fancy companies with shiny glass offices; our hands are usually dirty from working in the soil. People in Delhi know that getting things to grow in the summer heat is tough, so we spend a lot of time figuring out the best ways to keep things alive. Our staff is a small group of people who actually enjoy being outdoors. We don't have a big mission statement or anything. We just show up, look at the gardens, and do what needs to be done. It’s honest work that keeps us busy from sunrise to sunset. If you’re ever walking around the embassy area, you might see us out there working. We just keep to ourselves and focus on the plants and the daily maintenance needed.
