As a child, Simrit Malhi would watch her grandmother and mother tend to plants with rapt attention. Later, she went to a beautiful boarding school that was set within 300 acres of nature. Clearly, she has had a long-standing relationship with nature since childhood and adolescence. Little doubt that today she is India’s first and only permaculture designer who creates sustainable landscapes that are easy to maintain and quick to yield through her venture S.E.E.D (Sustainable. Ecological. Exterior. Design). Malhi provides a range of services that can make your space (read rooftop gardens, balconies, residential complexes, spa and hotel, etc) sustainable by using rainwater harvesting or organic farming.u00a0The spunky 30 year-old also likes to add a dash of innovation to her work. So you have her serving plants in a vintage kettle, or decorating a boombox, old television sets and oil drums with organic plants.
