Seema Gupta, 43 Gardener making plant necklaces

Gupta has been a gardener for around 17 years now. She says that she learnt through experience and practice and has been conducting offline and online workshops on gardening. It was only during the lockdown when she got an order to make a plant necklace. "We always need a source of oxygen. With the rise of poor air quality, I thought this would be a useful product." For her necklace, she has used indoor air purifying plants - spider grass and two varieties of pothos, also called money plants. Her outdoor air purifier plant includes jade which she says is good for gifting. She also offers customisation such as adding names on the pot.

RECOMMENDED BY: Bhavya Patel, Malad resident says, "I loved the plant necklace. The plants were healthy as well as properly planted in a cute pot. All my family members loved this concept and are eager to wear this to their parties. Thanks for launching this eco-friendly product".
