What we have learnt building and maintaining gardens in Rajasthan — written for people who want the detail, not the brochure.
Most garden writing is written by people who have not had to keep a garden alive through a Rajasthan May.
Everything here comes out of work the studio has actually done — which species held and which did not, what order the construction has to happen in, what a maintenance year really involves, and what goes wrong when the sequence is rushed.
It is deliberately specific. Named species, real depths, actual months. If a piece here could have been written about any garden anywhere, it should not be on this page.
Species by species, with the failure modes, container depths and the summer regime that keeps them alive.
Load, waterproofing, drainage, irrigation, medium, planting. Getting the sequence wrong is what causes leaks.
What fits in four metres, what to leave out, and the mistakes that make a small terrace feel smaller.
The types, the constraints, and how to judge whether your roof can carry one.
Every scheme begins with a survey. Send us the essentials and we will arrange one, then return a drawn plan — not a quotation against an assumption.
