Nature’s Phenomena

“Sustainability will never be a costly affair when you are in sync with nature.”

Cosmo: You recently mentioned on the ’Gram that you are now a newbie gardener…

“Practicing gardening to be more sustainable was a natural transition for me. I initially began composting in order to find an outlet to make the best out of the in-house waste I produced. And since I was making compost, I wanted to put it to use as well. That is how I began practicing gardening. I am not [fenugreek], [coriander], and [spinach]. I failed numerous times but the entire process of watching it grow was fun. My gardening journey has been a learning curve for me. I do not grow enough to feed my family but often I manage to grow a few veggies such as brinjals, chillis, and tomatoes. I have also managed to grow turmeric, ginger, potatoes, carrots, and cucumbers. I have a long way to go but I am in no hurry because the key is to never stop trying. My suggestion would be to start by growing microgreens and if possible, maybe add a new fruit or a vegetable. It is truly a rewarding experience and you know what you are putting on your plate.”
