FARMING | HOW TO
Delhi resident Mary George owns a beautiful orchid garden at home, including 1,000 other plants like succulents and roses.
Born in Kerala and raised in Delhi, Mary George was always inclined towards gardening. She gives credit to her mother – an avid gardener who owned almost all varieties of indoor as well as outdoor plants. So, taking care of the plants was a ritual for Mary since her childhood.
“Setting up a garden and retaining its beauty is an arduous task in Delhi due to its extreme weather conditions. But once you get the hang of things, it will fall into place,” says Mary to The Better India.
The 63-year-old’s garden is divided into three parts – terrace, ground and balcony. Additionally, indoor plants are kept in all other rooms of the house. Today, at least 1,000 plants are seen in her garden, including succulents, roses, lilies, palms and several indoor pl“I collect new plant varieties from garden nurseries all over India, from Sikkim and some while visiting Kerala. I was only a helper while my mom did the majority of the work. Post her death last year, I’m in charge of all the plants and look after them with the utmost care,” says the retired biology teacher who now works as a freelance educational consultant.
Out of all types of plants in her garden, Mary is particularly proud of her orchid collection. This is due to the reason that orchids are rarely grown in Delhi. “I’m a part of many gardening groups in Delhi. But none of the members grows orchids. It is hard for these plants to survive the scorching heat and harsh winter,” shares the gardener.
From Mary’s garden.
It has been only a year since Mary started her orchid garden. At present, there are 25-30 orchids in her collection, all of which are placed in pots, and cones and apart from gardening, Mary enjoys writing blogs and tweeting tips about her hobby. “Gardening uplifts my mood instantly. I consider each plant as my child. Nurturing them gives me nothing but pure joy,” she gushes.
Mary has a good fan following on Twitter and she is part of many gardening clubs in Delhi too. “I share pictures of my garden and plants in the groups. I don’t venture to sell plants because there are limitations. Since I am not a professional, all plants wouldn’t be hanging orchids.
Her husband and children frequently assist her in the garden. Additionally, she hires a gardener once a week for in-depth care. healthy enough to be sold,” about us https://bit.ly/3GUPFOa
