Soon, you can swap orchids at an iconic British bungalow between listening to talks on gardening.
Owned by the English when they settled down in Coimbatore and later by T Stanes and Company, this heritage venue is now a garden centre. Drawing inspiration from garden centres abroad, Kalyani Narayanan, Senior Manager — Business Development of T Stanes, started working on the concept over six months ago.
The culmination of her efforts, along with a team from the company, is the Stanes Garden Centre. It welcomes plant lovers from Coimbatore and nearby areas with selfie corners, a beverage kiosk selling teas from the plantations of T Stanes, a pond, vertical garden, and of course, hundreds of plants.
