Peepal – Bespoke & Sustainable Gardening Services

F&Q

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need your services?

Our work starts where everyone else’s stops. Be it sustaining your garden to engaging with it, we don’t give up on you so that you don’t give up on your plants.

We love plants but also, we love the environment in which you and they live together. Hence, we work with nature and not against it with our sustainable gardening philosophy. This means we don’t recommend exotic plants which are invasive, carbon heavy materials such as plastic or concrete, orchards and not lawns, among many other aspects.

What is a sustainable garden?

Technically, planting a tree contributes to greenery and therefore, sustainable development at a larger level. However, planting it in a way that doesn’t cause any negative impact on the local habitat, its inhabitants and the larger ecosystem makes a garden sustainable. Simply put, a sustainable garden encourages co-existence and sustenance among its friends and family (other plants, birds, bees, insects, worms, et al).

How much custom is customized when it comes to styling a home garden?

At Peepal, we leverage the distinctive personality of every gardener to add a special touch to his/her home garden. Rather than adopting a one-size-fit-all philosophy, our ‘transform’ service looks at customizing every element of a garden – be it the planters, furniture, accessories, etc. to bring alive a gardener’s unique imagination.

What are your design principles of styling a home garden?

Our design philosophy revolves around integrating joy and sustainability in a garden. As a natural extension, maintaining a fine balance between aesthetics and minimalism constitute our design principles. One of the key enablers in this process is our obsession for detailing and creativity to optimize the space, time, and resources one may have.

Do you also provide plant care guidance and maintenance services?

While we promise to be a pal / friend in your journey of gardening, we do not provide direct maintenance services. The simple reason is that no matter how much external help you can get, a garden is best nurtured by its creator.

A gardener’s emotions are transferred to the plants and mirrors his / her state of mind. Hence, we encourage our fellow gardeners to embrace a fostering spirit for their garden as this experience is irreplaceable and non-transferable.

Having said that, our aim is to provide stained support at various levels for you to create, transform and cultivate your garden.
