We also conducted live musical session where singers Ishi Khandelwal, Tushar, Jerry and Sachin gathered to entertain the plant lovers. We also put up banners everywhere to spread awareness about gardening and how it is helpful to us. Our agenda is to connect with more such people who love plants and gardening. This way they can avoid paying hefty amount on plants and exchange as per their choice.”
