The Minds Behind Ferntastica Gardens

Growing up with a father who loved grafting roses, it came as a natural decision for Mario to pursue his education at the prestigious College of Agriculture in Pune.

Today, Ferntastica Gardens has witnessed consistent growth under Mario’s leadership. He established a plant nursery in Chembur, Mumbai, thereby providing a green lung to the city and creative green thumbs a chance to take home a potful of happiness. Their heritage farms in the outskirts of Mumbai is yet another brainchild of Mario.

Over the four decades of following his dream, Mario has been instrumental on several levels. From building and maintaining client relationships, working with different teams of gardeners, horticulturists and more to delivering the projects on time, Mario’s efforts have truly created the goodwill that Ferntastica Gardens till date enjoys.
