Green, made to order.

All over Goa. The studio and nursery are in Anjuna, on the Aguada–Siolim road, and we have worked from Vagator and Parra down to Dona Paula. We have also delivered one project outside the state, at Klinq in Pune.

Yes, and it is a large part of the work. Restaurants, beach bars, nightclubs and resorts — Chhupa Rustam, Goya at Vagator, Aviary and Cohin among them. We are on site now at Anantham by Golden Adobe in Dona Paula, and booked in for a resort in Mandrem.

Both. Private villas are a regular part of the work — Casa Del Sogno in Anjuna and a villa at Parra are two of them — and you can also simply come to the studio and buy plants, planters or compost.

Yes. We grow our stock at two nurseries, in Sangolda and Vagator, so what goes into a garden has already been growing in Goan conditions rather than arriving cold from another state.

Water in the garden, built and planted so that it keeps working: lily ponds, rock water features and fountains. The lily pond at Chhupa Rustam and the rock feature at the Parra villa are both examples.

A layered tropical planting style — heavy foliage, stone, water and lighting used together, so the garden reads as dense and enclosed rather than as a lawn with beds around it. It is our stated specialisation, and it suits Goa because the plants it uses are the ones that thrive here anyway.

Sometimes. At Noah we lifted and re-established mature trees on a site that was still under construction, keeping the root ball intact. Whether a particular tree can be moved depends on its species, age and root system, so it has to be looked at first.

Yes. Garden maintenance and garden consultancy are both services we offer, and a tropical planting scheme needs the upkeep more than a temperate one does.
