ABOUT EKTA’S SKILLSHARE CLASS
You don’t need a yard or even a patio to create a garden oasis in your home—just the know-how that YouTuber and scientist-turned-gardener Ekta Chaudhary of Garden Up is happy to share.
Ekta loves plants. She loves them so much she got a Ph.D. in ecology, all the better to understand her leafy green friends. Living in Mumbai, India, Ekta always had sunlight but didn’t always have a garden or balcony to grow plants on, so she became determined to figure out the best ways for her plants to thrive even indoors. Now, she’s sharing her whole process with you. Alongside Ekta, you’ll also learn how to:
– Put together your own soil blend
– Develop the perfect watering schedule for your plants
– Cultivate flowers to support bees and attract pollinators
– Nurture decorative houseplants to keep your home garden lush
…And grow your own food indoors!
