Service
Nursery Management Consultancy
Set up and run a productive plant nursery — propagation, shade-net houses, potting media, plant health and stock planning for commercial or on-site nurseries.
A well-run nursery is the engine of any large landscape — and a profitable business in its own right. Ganesh Patel has built and operated nurseries on industrial campuses for gap-filling and expansion, set up agro shade-net houses for seasonal propagation, and trained teams to produce healthy plants at low cost.
Consultancy covers
- Site layout — mother-plant blocks, propagation area, hardening zone, potting yard and dispatch.
- Shade-net & poly houses — sizing, orientation, misting and summer protection.
- Propagation — seeds, cuttings, layering and grafting for ornamentals, fruit and avenue trees.
- Potting media & nutrition — vermicompost and organic compost production on site.
- Plant health — integrated pest management and disease control with minimal chemicals.
- Stock & cost planning — production calendars, inventory and cost per plant.
Qualified in the science, proven in the field
Ganesh Patel holds a B.Sc. in Agriculture and an M.Sc. in Horticulture from Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur (ICAR Fellowship), and trained in General Greenhouse Management at NIPHT, Pune. On campus he combined that knowledge with daily practice — producing plants for 15,000-tree estates and seasonal flower displays.
Frequently asked questions
Is an on-site nursery worth it for a campus or township?
For sites of more than a few acres, usually yes. Replacement plants, seasonal flowers and hedge stock grown on site cost a fraction of nursery-bought plants and are already acclimatised.
Do you advise new commercial nurseries?
Yes — from choosing the plant range and setting up infrastructure to propagation schedules, pest control and staffing.
