She has grown plants, which emit high levels of oxygen, absorb radiations and have medicinal values. with this efforts she became an inspiration for many and shares her experiences by addressing online workshops nationally and internationally on gardening and horticulture.
Sakshi Bhardwaj started to develop a backyard garden in the year 2018, she started using jungle cultivation techniques by the year 2019. We always had organic kitchen waste including leftover vegetables, fruit skins and coconut husk which takes long to decompose so I started using it as a planter and turned kitchen waste into vermi- compost and bio-enzymes states Sakshi in an interview to a News agency.
In the year 2020 she came across an online gardening community, who were growing exotic and rare plants. With her wish to expand her garden she reached out to the community members and sourced several of the exotic plants and with it enhanced her collection.
Sakshi always nurtured love for nature and which is why she pursued microbiology in her student days. The keen interest grew further as she started working as an assistant professor of Agriculture. “As I taught plants’ genetics, I thought of having a first-hand experience of these theories in my own garden,” she said. She has named the unique garden ‘Jungle Vase’, Sakshi said that a vase normally has a plant similarly the garden holds a mini forest like a vase.
