Hyderabad Buzz: Green Fever Grips City as Grand Nursery Mela Draws Huge Crowds
Hyderabad, January 26, 2026 (Lifestyle Special):
Amid Hyderabad’s ever-expanding concrete skyline, a refreshing wave of green is capturing the city’s imagination. The 19th Grand Nursery Mela, held alongside a vibrant Horticulture Show, has emerged as a major crowd-puller, attracting thousands of visitors from Hyderabad and various parts of Telangana.
Organised near IMAX Circle at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Statue on HMDA Grounds (beside IMAX Theatre, Necklace Road area), the five-day event has transformed the venue into a lively green haven for plant lovers, gardeners and families alike.
With rising urban stress and growing concerns over pollution, city residents are increasingly embracing plants for peace, wellness and cleaner air. This renewed interest in gardening is clearly reflected in the overwhelming response to the Nursery Mela, which has witnessed heavy footfall throughout the event.
The mela features over 120 stalls, offering an impressive collection of rare, exotic, imported and indigenous plants. Visitors can explore a wide range of offerings including flowering plants, fruit-bearing trees, medicinal herbs, bonsai collections, creepers, adeniums, bulb varieties, seeds, planting materials and kitchen garden essentials. The event also showcases indoor and outdoor plants, along with tools and setups for terrace and vertical gardening.
Nursery owners and suppliers from across the country — including Kolkata, Delhi, Haryana, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Andhra Pradesh, Pune, Shirdi, Kadiyam and Chennai — have brought their finest collections to Hyderabad. The mela serves as a one-stop destination for farmers, urban gardeners and hobbyists seeking pots, potting mixes, decorative accessories and modern gardening solutions.
With terrace and vertical gardening rapidly gaining popularity in the city, the event offers innovative displays, expert guidance and practical solutions to help residents create green spaces even in limited urban settings.
Mela In-charge Khalid Ahmed appealed to Hyderabadis and people across Telangana to visit the event before it concludes and take advantage of the wide variety of plants and gardening resources on offer.
The 19th Grand Nursery Mela concludes today (January 26, 2026). Open daily from 9 am to 9 pm, the event provides an ideal outing for nature lovers, gardening enthusiasts and families eager to add a touch of greenery to their homes.
Whether it is a balcony garden, a vertical setup, medicinal plants or vibrant blooms, the mela offers something for everyone. In the midst of fast-paced city life, the event serves as a gentle reminder of the joy and calm that nature brings — one plant at a time. 🌿
