Updates from the Nursery
February 2025 · Anuja Khokhani
The first two months of 2025 have been incredibly productive at our nursery. With the purpose of maximising on the cold and dewy weather, we had been focusing on a variety of greens and herbs, sowing them in big numbers, here’s what the numbers look so far –
• Lettuce: 4,000 seeds
• Pok Choy: 6,000 seeds
• Rugula: 2,500 seeds
• Basil: 2,000 seeds
Each of these seeds have been carefully sown, ensuring better germination and strong and healthy saplings that will thrive in the weeks ahead. In addition to planting these and the usual vegetables and greens, we’ve also begun sowing seeds for sapling that you have ordered!
If you’re interested in placing an order, you can do so here.
Special Mention
One of the most exciting developments in these two months has been the sowing of cacao seeds, sourced from a trusted farm near Mangalore. This marks a new step in our journey, and we’re looking forward to seeing the first of the seedlings germinate and flourish!
With plenty more to come, we’re excited for what the rest of the season holds. Stay tuned for more updates as our nursery continues to grow!

As January rolls in, our nursery is busier than ever. The recent cyclone set us back briefly, but with teamwork and determination, we quickly got things back on track to make the most of this productive season.

Each winter, we focus on cultivating a variety of salad greens such as Arugula, Lettuce, and Celery, along with our staple vegetables. This year, we are pleased to introduce a new addition to our crops – Palak Keerai, also known as Spinach; a much-loved favourite!
We’re also experimenting with a few different types of greens and hope to expand our offerings soon. Stay tuned!
