Garden Guru – Gardening Store in Bangalore

Remember, In my last post, I mentioned that there is a surprise waiting in store. Some of you might have already guessed.

I am opening a garden store in Bangalore. .

The store’s name is Garden Guru.  It will be open from this Sunday, 8th 0f July 2012. We also have an online store for gardening.

I am in this venture along with another green evangelist, Roxy Philip.Roxy Philip is a hydroponic enthusiast and he has experience in growing lettuces in greenhouse in Denmark.

Please drop by on Sunday to my brand new store.

A little bit of history is required on why I came with the store.

From the day I started this blog, the main intention was the following.

  • Promote urban gardening
  • Share the knowledge on gardening and horticulture.
  • Provide detailed methodologies for growing plants in the Indian context.

I think all of the above 3 were fulfilled (atleast to some extent if not 100%) in the last 4 years of this website’s existence. 1000s of gardeners visit this site every single day. But do all of them succeed.? People who are successful, continue to garden and people who failed, thought they don’t have a green thumb. Is there a thing called ‘green thumb’?   People without greenthumb fail ?  No.. It is several small things that annoys people who start to garden.

Most of the times it was the non-availability of the materials that killed the enthusiasm of budding gardeners. There is no other to way to solve this problem but to take things in your own hands.  Another big problem in the gardening arena is below.

Most of  the people  don’t garden

those who garden don’t share

those who share don’t sell

and those who sell don’t care..

Garden Guru is an attempt to solve this problem.

Just give it a thought………

    Heartfelt wishes and best of luck. I am eagerly looking for something like this in chennai and would definitely be visiting your store whenever i come to Bangalore.

    BTW : I have been following your blogs for the last one month and have already started my Balcony garden over the last 2 weeks in Tambaram . I took a lot of pain to source all materials and still they are not complete.

  32. Hi, been trying to locate the store. Came twice looking for it but lost my way and no one is able to guide me. the map isnt very clear. can you give me directions from aiyappa temple bus stop?
    Looking forward to visiting the store.

  33. It was nice visiting your store. Will definitely be back for more soon.
    I was also interested in knowing the details of setting up a drip irrigation system, costs, pitfalls to look for etc etc. Would you be able to either hold a class or a blog post on that?

    Reply

    • Hi Asha,

      Thanks for dropping by. Your idea is nice. I will conduct a small 1-2 hour workshop on Drip irrigation setup and the same can be recorded and posted on the website for outstation folks.

  34. Thanks everyone for the wishes and support. Wishing you all the best in the start of this growing season… If you haven’t started gardening, July-Aug is the best time to get started. Guess what, there is lot of rains and that means less watering your terrace garden..!

    Happy gardening

  38. Hey Wonderful! I have been a silent er..lurker of your site for the last 1 month and am totaly amazed at how nice your garden is. Having had several failed attempts at growing vegetable plants, I now stick to only flowers and local plants. But having come across your site, I have new found zeal to start again and your store opening is the icing on the cake. I will definitely visit your store shortly. Thanks for sharing – Nita.

  45. I live in Whitefield. How to reach Garden Guru by bus. I am afraid to drive as I am a new driver for Indian roads. I checked Google map couple of time, but didn’t get any idea.

    • You can check for Garden Guru in Google maps. I have checked the map and the location is correct. If you are coming from Whitefield, you come through the ring road and turn left at Jayadeva circle (that road is Banerghatta road). Go straight you will reach the first signal (go straight). From the next signal take a left (Bilekahalli). Go straight till you reach vijaya bank layout (7 storied buildings on both sides) you will reach a junction (on the right is EK retail). From that junction take left. Our shop is around 50 meters from end of that road on the right.

  47. Hi, I’m a newbie gardening enthusiast residing in Noida ( near Delhi). I chanced upon your site whilst looking for information on terrace gardening. Am keen to get some organic vegetable seeds…. How soon would your online shop be up and running? Or do you know of any place I could source these in Delhi? Also, is there anyone on this forum who resides close by and is willing to exchange information and encouragement?!
    Thanks,
    Savita

    • Hi

  52. Hi,
    Its been quite a while since i have started my own garden. It gives a sense of pride, to say that i reaped a rich harvest last year of close to 30 pumpkins 🙂 …

    I have had a great time with papaya since last year. It hasn’t picked up so far this year, because of ‘leaf curl’ and ‘stem rot’ diseases. Could you suggest a pesticide to cull this problem ? I stay in vijaynagar, you suggestions will be of great help for me.

    Thanks,
    Ravi
