In their words- Any space that receives even a little bit of sunlight is a potential MySunnyBalcony space: A tiny unusable patch outside your front door, an ugly terrace on your roof, or even a back balcony in your high rise apartment. It doesn’t matter how high up or small your space is, we’ll work with it. We’ll also tell you what you can do and what you can’t. You’ll be surprised at the immense number of green possibilities that even a tiny amount of space can hold!”

The childhood memories of playing in lawn and plucking fresh vegetables from home garden or sipping a cup of tea amidst of greenery are gone things. You don’t have to be super rich to own a bungalow with garden. My Sunny Balcony team (Athreya, Reena, Shailesh and Sriram) will take care of everything. Only thing, presently they operate in Bangalore city only but hoping they will start operating from other cities too ?

So what are you waiting for? Now even small spaces will have own personal garden! More details you can read at mysunnybalcony.com
