Welcome to Gardener Support India

At Gardener Support India, we believe every garden tells a story — and every gardener deserves the tools to write it well. Whether you're nurturing your first marigold or managing a sprawling backyard orchard, our mission is to make gardening in India not just possible, but truly rewarding.

What We Do

We provide trusted, practical, and climate-specific guidance for gardeners across India. From monsoon-ready plant care to drought-tolerant landscaping, we bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern horticultural science. Our content is designed to help you grow healthier plants, conserve water, and work in harmony with India’s diverse ecosystems.

Topics We Cover

Our resources include in-depth guides on:

• Native Indian plants and their care
• Seasonal gardening calendars for different regions
• Organic pest control and composting techniques
• Container and balcony gardening for urban spaces
• Sustainable water management and rainwater harvesting
• Connecting with local gardening experts and nurseries

About the Creator

Gardener Support India was founded by Alden Thorne, a lifelong plant enthusiast with roots in New Zealand and a deep admiration for India’s rich botanical heritage. After witnessing the challenges Indian gardeners face — from unpredictable weather to limited access to localized advice — Alden created this platform to bring clarity, confidence, and community to gardening in India. Though based in Auckland, Alden spends months each year traveling across India, learning from farmers, nursery owners, and home gardeners to ensure our advice is grounded in real experience.

Why This Website Exists

Too often, gardening advice online is written for temperate climates and ignores India’s unique conditions. We exist to change that. We noticed that even experienced gardeners struggled to find reliable, region-specific information. So we built this space — not as a commercial venture, but as a labor of love — to empower everyday gardeners with knowledge they can trust.

Our Values and Approach

We believe in accuracy over speed, local relevance over generic tips, and community over commerce. Every article is researched with input from Indian horticulturists, field-tested by our network of gardeners, and updated regularly to reflect changing climates and practices. We never accept paid promotions or advertise products we haven’t personally used or verified.
