Go Green at a Bonsai Exhibition

June 1, 2010 4:53 pm by

Tried goldfish but didn’t work? How about a Bonsai plant? These pint-sized trees are the perfect Mumbai plants, occupying minimal space in small flats. Starting today, you can pick up a mini orange (or chickoo or bougainvillea) tree at Jyoti and Nikunj Parekh’s Bonsai exhibition in Babulnath, which the husband-and-wife duo have been hosting for the past 15 years. Be warned, however: Bonsai, though pretty to look at, are fussy plants requiring regular care and attention. And if gardening isn’t your thing, pick up artist Harinakshi Mistry’s Japanese-inspired porcelain tiles and plates, or Sonali Maniar’s nature-inspired stationery label, Templetree.

The Bonsai plants start at Rs350, and the stationery at Rs110.
