If you’re growing a balcony jungle or planning a full terrace garden, Bangalore has a nursery for every need- starter saplings, indoor foliage, fruit grafts, soil mixes, planters and advice that actually helps. Below is a homeowner-friendly guide to dependable nurseries and nursery clusters across the city, with where they are and what they’re good for.
Lalbagh Horticulture nurseries, Mavalli /Lalbagh campus
Inside and around the gates of Lalbagh you’ll find government-run counters and cooperative stalls that sell seasonal ornamentals, kitchen-garden seedlings, fruit grafts, soil and basic tools at fair prices. It’s the classic first stop for healthy plants; timing your visit around the big flower-show weeks usually means more variety. Location: Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Mavalli, Bengaluru 560004.
Siddapura Nursery Street, near Lalbagh South Gate
A whole lane of independent nurseries lines the approach to Lalbagh’s South Gate. Walk the street to compare quality and prices; most shops will repot on the spot and help with soil mixes. Location: Siddapura, Jayanagar 1st Block, near Lalbagh South Gate.
Indo American Hybrid Seeds Garden Centre, central city
Part nursery, part garden store- good for seeds, saplings, herbs, potting media and tools, with staff used to guiding beginners. Look for their city-centre outlet in the Ulsoor/central corridor. Location example: Annaswamy Mudaliar Road, near Ulsoor Lake.
GKVK University nursery, Bellary Road corridor
Run by the University of Agricultural Sciences, the campus nurseries focus on hardy trees, fruit grafts, bamboos and avenue species, along with seasonal ornamentals; prices are sensible and species labels are reliable. Location: UAS GKVK campus, off Bellary Road/Yeshwanthpur-Hebbal belt.
KR Market flower and plant lanes, City Market
Arrive early and you’ll find trays of flowering plants, foliage starters and cut flowers at wholesale-leaning rates. It’s busy and old-school, great for volume buys and festive greens. Location: KR Market/Russell Market precinct, near Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace.
HSR–Agara nursery cluster, South-East
Around Agara Lake and HSR Layout’s service roads sits a handy cluster of tidy nurseries- solid for indoor plants, ceramics, moss poles and ready potting. Many offer doorstep delivery nearby, which makes balcony makeovers painless. Location: HSR Layout/Agara Lake belt.
Sarjapur–Gunjur nursery stretch, East
If you’re greening a villa plot or need lawn by the roll, head toward Gunjur. You’ll find larger yards with hedges, palms, bougainvillea and turf, plus supply-and-plant quotes. Location: Varthur Main Road, Gunjur Village corridor.
Bannerghatta–Gottigere road nurseries, South
Roadside nurseries along this axis are strong for budget-friendly outdoor plants- areca palms, hibiscus, jasmine, cycads and hardy border shrubs. Good when you need quantity for a driveway or community beds. Location: Bannerghatta Main Road toward Gottigere/NICE junction.
Whitefield–Varthur belt, East-North-East
A mix of boutique indoor studios and larger sheds means you can pick up designer planters for apartments and bulk greens for community gardens on one run. Ask for maintenance bundles if you’re new to plant care. Location: Whitefield Main Road and Varthur–Gunjur side roads.
Hebbal–Yelahanka cluster, North
Long-running yards here carry taller specimens- ficus columns, bottle palms, bamboo, pergola creepers and heavier planters that suit terraces and podium gardens. Location: Off the Outer Ring Road spurs toward Hebbal, Hennur and Yelahanka.
Go early when stock is fresh and staff have time to advise. Carry photos and note how many hours of direct sun each spot in your home actually gets; it’s the single best way to buy plants that thrive. Ask for potting-on service if you’re unsure about soil. Before billing, check the undersides of leaves for pests and make sure root balls are firm.
