The Better India’s Heroes of Sustainability have dedicated their lives to protect the planet — planting huge forests, helping hundreds lead sustainable lives, or even saving entire species. And these heroes have no plans to stop until the Earth heals.

A, native of Kerala, Deepak John Mathew moved to Hyderabad in 2014 and now grows cabbages, leafy vegetables, beans, among others on his terrace, which inspires his colleagues and students

Over the past six years, Devraj has grown carports, beans, cherry tomatoes, giloy, curry leaves, three types of lemongrass and even drumstick

Still throwing those leaves away every time you make tea?

Is your kid a fussy eater? Here’s one way to change that — by showing them the entire cycle of how exactly leafy greens reach their plates.

These tiny leaves are imitations of their mature counterparts and are packed with intense flavour and nutrition.

From traditional heirloom vegetable varieties to exotic veggies and herbs, give a boost to your home garden through these seed deliveries.

"We got tired of playing the part of destroyers of the planet, so we wanted to heal, even if in a very small way.”

“My garden expanded after I moved to IISc Bengaluru for my PhD. My hostel room housed nearly 30 plants then, as well as a little kitchen garden in my lab. Research work in itself is very cumbersome, and my garden provided me solace at the end of a tiring day,” she shares.

Papaya, mausambi, pomegranate, orange — Nagpur's Manisha Kulkarni is growing all of them at home with seeds from the fruits her kids ate. She didn't need to buy a single seed! #UrbanGarden
