About
GreenPatio.Com
There
are a number of products and services that are related to
landscaping. Architects, contractors plants, seeds, fertilizers,
insecticides, gardening tools, pots, irrigation systems,
fountains, garden lights, children's play equipment, shade
nets, etc., are all an integral part of landscaping. However,
as of today there isn't any common directory where all the
above services are listed. To look for any of these items,
one has to scan through a number of yellow pages that exist
today and yet you will not get the information that you
are looking for. Most of them do not have the sections/category
for the products that a person is looking for.

We
have also created an e-group where members listing their
business in GreenPatio.Com can interact with each other.
The e-group will be very useful in reducing the time lost
in sourcing plants. Whenever a member has a requirement
for plants which he cannot fulfill himself or from his known
sources, he can post his requirement to the group. Any member
meeting his requirement can write back about the availability
of that particular plant. This way, members can look for
plants beyond their known sources. Similarly, members having
excess stock can reach out far beyond their known sources
to sell their plants.
The
website offers free tips on how to make gardens, terrace
gardens and has wide growing database offering tips on taking
care of plants – something that is of utmost need
for every plant lover. Almost every housewife wants to have
a plant on her balcony, on the windowsill, next to her kitchen
window and in her bedroom as well. People want to keep plants
in their offices too. They are however reluctant to do so
out of fear that they will not be able to look after the
plants and that the plants will not survive for a very long
time. The site makes and attempt to help all the plant lovers
fulfill their dream of having a plant in their homes or
offices. Looking after a plant was never so easy.
With
financial assistance from Dr. Dhuni Soren from Liverpool
(UK), GreenPatio.Com is the brainchild of Sanjay Besra.
Although he does not have a formal education in horticulture,
his experience of working for over 14 years in “Ferntastica
Gardens Ltd.”, a premier landscaping firm in Mumbai,
has helped him to understand the subject to a great depth.
Though still at a very nascent stage, the site has an impressive
viewership. With time to come, visitors will be able to
find loads of information regarding plants, landscaping
and related topics. We plan to build an exhaustive database
of plants with tips on how to care for them.
