It's a Green Revolution of a quiet kind. Located bang in the midst of chaotic Lower Parel, the 21st floor of a residential building is the chosen setting for Sreedevi Lakshmikutty. The potted plants that dot her tiny balcony, have a cultivated spread of therapeutic lemongrass, tulsi, coriander and aloe vera. Devi, as her friends call her, is not a unique case. There is a fair amount of populace, even though small in numbers now, who have chosen to grow lemongrass and coriander over a rose garden.
