Custom orders

Tell us about them.

You describe a person — what they love, how you know them, what you're celebrating, what you want them to remember. We design a small living landscape around it, and plant it by hand.

Every custom order is priced individually. You will have the price before anything is made.

What we can make

Almost anything, so long as it's about someone.

Everything we have made started this way — around a person, a milestone, a festival or a memory. Yours can begin from any of them, or from nothing at all.

For someone you love

Anniversaries, engagements, golden jubilees, best friends, parents and grandparents.

For a big moment

A new baby, a new home, a first job, a retirement, a graduation, a fiftieth.

For a festival or a blessing

Diwali, home mandirs, blessings for a new venture, festive tokens.

How it works

How it works, in four steps.

  1. Tell the story

    Who it's for, how you know them, what they love, what the occasion is. The more particular, the better the piece.

  2. We talk it through

    Sweta comes back with questions, then a direction — the size, the planting, the figures, the idea. You agree the price before anything is made.

  3. It's planted by hand

    Built in the studio in Kolkata. Plants chosen to survive the room it's going to, not just to look well on the day.

  4. Delivered

    Across Kolkata, with a printed care card. We agree a date with you when you order.

What helps most

The details other people would think are too small to mention.

Not "she likes plants" — but that she grew up by the sea, that she keeps every photograph, that she and her husband argue about the same thing every year, that her son moved abroad in March.

Those are the things a piece can be built from. If you have a photograph of the room it will live in, send that too — it decides which plants will survive there.

Enquire to order

Tell us about them.

Six questions. Nothing here commits you to anything — it just starts the conversation.

The particular details matter more than the general ones.

Only so we suggest something realistic. It doesn't change the care taken.

Thank you — that's with Sweta. She'll come back to you personally, usually on WhatsApp.

Ordering for a company?

Festive gifting, client and employee gifts, and greenery for workspaces are handled a little differently.
