Excerpt:

In the serene precincts of Hyderabad, there is a home that embodies the essence of life through its lush green rooftop garden. Stretching over 2,000 square feet, this rooftop is a tapestry of vibrant plant species — from vegetables and fruits to a brilliant array of flowers.

Among the leafy expanses, one can find tomatoes, coriander, mint, spring onions, garlic, and even drumsticks – a remarkable sight in an urban setting. Fruits are no strangers to this rooftop either. Mangoes, figs, pomegranates, sweet lemons, and oranges flourish, transforming the space into a veritable orchard. The owner of this lush green haven is Ashok Rao.

Ashok’s journey into gardening took root during the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic. What started as an exploratory venture soon blossomed into a fulfilling daily routine. Today, his terrace garden boasts over 200 plants, each thriving under his devoted care.
