Green Guru's Gardening Guide
Green Guru's Gardening Guide is a practical, easy-to-follow handbook for creating and maintaining healthy, beautiful gardens in Indian conditions. Drawing on decades of hands-on horticultural experience, Dinesh Chandra Rawat explains plants, pots, soil, watering, nutrition, pruning, pests, seasonal care and everyday garden management for beginners and experienced garden lovers alike.
Good gardening becomes much easier when you understand what a plant actually needs. Green Guru's Gardening Guide brings decades of practical gardening and horticultural experience into one accessible handbook for Indian garden lovers. Written for real gardening conditions rather than ideal textbook situations, the book explains how to understand plants, choose them wisely and provide the right combination of sunlight, soil, water, nutrition, space and regular care. Readers are guided through the essentials of gardening—from selecting plants and containers to preparing growing media, watering correctly, fertilising, repotting, pruning, propagation and managing common pests and diseases. The book also addresses the challenges faced by Indian gardeners: intense summer heat, monsoon rain, seasonal changes, limited urban space, balconies and terraces, varying water quality and the need to select plants appropriate to local conditions. Whether you are growing indoor plants, flowering plants, foliage plants, herbs, vegetables, climbers, shrubs, fruit plants or small trees, the emphasis remains practical: understand the plant first and then create the conditions in which it can thrive. Designed for beginners as well as experienced garden enthusiasts, the book helps readers avoid common mistakes, solve everyday plant problems and develop the confidence to make better gardening decisions independently. Gardening is more than maintaining plants. It can bring beauty, food, biodiversity, environmental benefits and a daily connection with nature into our homes. Understand your plants. Work with nature. Grow a better garden.
