Grand Nursery Mela concludes Monday night at HMDA Grounds; green lovers urged to make the most of the final day
HYDERABAD: The 20th Grand Nursery Mela–All India Horticulture and Agriculture Show, which has been attracting gardening enthusiasts and nature lovers in large numbers, will conclude today (Monday), bringing the five-day celebration of greenery to an end.
Held at the HMDA Grounds near the IMAX Theatre, the nursery mela has emerged as a vibrant destination for Hyderabad residents keen on bringing more greenery into their homes. With over 110 stalls featuring plants and gardening products from across the country, the event has offered visitors an opportunity to explore a wide range of rare, ornamental, medicinal and flowering varieties under one roof.
The final day is expected to witness continued footfall, particularly from families, gardening enthusiasts and those looking for plants suitable for balconies, terraces and home gardens. Visitors can explore a diverse collection ranging from flowering plants and bonsai to medicinal varieties, exotic species and special cactus varieties brought from Nagaland.
A green choice for every home
One of the key attractions of the mela has been its focus on modern urban gardening. Terrace gardening, vertical gardening and hydroponic solutions have generated considerable interest among city residents seeking to grow plants despite limited space.
The mela also offers plants across a wide price range, from Rs.20 to Rs.2.5 lakh, catering to both first-time buyers and serious plant collectors. Alongside plants, visitors can purchase pots, terracotta products, organic manure, fertilisers and other gardening essentials.
Final opportunity to experience the green extravaganza
With growing concerns over pollution, urban stress and shrinking green spaces, the nursery mela has highlighted the importance of cultivating greenery at home. Beyond beautifying living spaces, home gardening is increasingly being seen as a productive hobby that can create a cooler, more pleasant and mentally refreshing environment.
As the five-day event concludes today, organisers have urged green lovers, gardening enthusiasts and nature-conscious citizens to utilise the final opportunity and visit the mela before it closes at 10 p.m.
For those who have been planning to add a touch of green to their homes, the final day offers a last chance to choose from the wide variety of plants and gardening products on display and take home a little piece of nature.
The Grand Nursery Mela will remain open until 10 p.m. today (Monday), August 31, at the HMDA Grounds near the IMAX Theatre, Hyderabad.
