About Me
- Urban Green
- Among other things, I am a recreational gardener based in Delhi. I’ve lived my childhood in a small town, large spaces surrounded with green and grown up seeing my father’s passion for gardening. All who visited us had great things to say about our garden while my dad would beam with joy at those reviews. All conversations at home circled around plants while dad would speak with conscious pride. Back then, I never really understood his motivations, the manic hours he spent gardening, until I moved to Delhi and found myself space-strapped. Living in Delhi today, made me yearn for a patch of green in my house, and that’s where the gene popped up. I must mention my husband here who’s has been more than a participant, prodding me all along. He’s more creative and gentle than I am while I oscillate between brutal and gentle ways of cultivation. What started out with a few odd container plants has become a garden welling over with herbs and shrubs, and some trees too. Here, as the ‘the urban gardener‘, I’ll share my experiences, tips and tricks I’ve known or practised to help you with the challenges of furnishing an urban garden.
The 3rd picture - I REALLY REALLY LOVE THAT!!! is it planted in a hanging basket?
ReplyDeleteIs that mint in the 2nd pic from the bottom?
I like this - Green, green, green but all different tones.
Beautiful collection, dear Urban Green! Your hanging baskets are looking so lush and full! Is the plant in the first photo Syngonium?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, refreshing group of photos this morning. Hope you enjoy a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely collection of healthy foliage plants. I espcially liked the Goose foot.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful~!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful foliage! I have the one in the second picture only. I like the foliage that's in the first picture the most... the green shade look special and the pattern that's formed in the centre made the foliage attractive.
ReplyDeleteHello Urban Green, it´s so nice to see how you take care of your plants and show the love you have for them. I´m so happy that so, so many women around the world are loving nature and taking care of it.
ReplyDeleteMuchos cariños

Love your greens UG. Even I am very fond of foliage coz they are old faithfuls, always around.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the plant in pic no.3 called? How big is the pot? I have this plant but cannot for the life of me understand what my maali calls it! Yours seems very healthy. Mine dosent trail so much. I wish it did!
Just love the foliage on these. I've grown at least two of these as houseplants. Foliage is just as important as flowers, and can be just as pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful colours of green :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's the best thing about foliage plants...eternal garden companions! Blooms last only for a while. But these go on and on. Pretty photos. The third one---what is it called? I don't have that. Now I'll be looking around....:)
ReplyDeleteI was also going to ask what photo no. 3 was - it is beautiful and lush.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Lanie
I love foliage, sometimes it's the only thing keeping the garden interesting between blooms. You have a gorgeous selection. :)
ReplyDeleteUrban green...your plants are refreshing to the eyes and spirits. Is that the artillery fern in a hanging basket? I have never seen them like that. I usually use them as borders in my plant beds.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful foliage, the colour combination & pattern in the first one is especially lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou have got some amazing plants. I loved the third photos. So delicate and cascading.
ReplyDeleteI have all of these...but they never go outside! it is just not the right climate here!!! yours are so healthy!!!
ReplyDeletePlant no.3 shows up as Pilea microphylla or Artillery Plant on searching the net. Not sure though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a refreshing palette of green! They all look so healthy too. Speaks a lot for your gardening skills, Urban Green.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful evergreens, UG. I just love the foliage. Yes, our old faithfuls. I used to have lots of problems growing a healthy plant like these. You are a great gardener.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of plants. I think we use to call the second one Angel Wings.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a nice collection of plants. that first one you showed was particularly beautiful. Plants are such a great way to bring life into our homes.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
beautiful! do you know what the first one is called?

ReplyDeleteHello Urban Green, how are you? I have just posted an award for you. Hope you would receive it :-d
ReplyDeleteWow! What different textures, shapes, and colors! Is the penultimate one the medicinal herb? If I'm right it tastes a bit tangy and hot...
ReplyDeleteLovely images. Happy new year to you...Thomas
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello!
ReplyDeleteGood to have them around - always thriving and green:))
ReplyDeleteLovely foliage, beautiful pics. Love your blog, and I am going 'green' with envy cos I don't have a green thumb:(
