As a cherished dinnertime story goes, the grandfather of Shishir Kabra, founder and CEO, once rescued two leopard pups from a forest fire and raised them before releasing them back in the wild.No wonder that the base of myBageecha, Kuchaman house, nestled in a quiet lane in Ahmedabad, is a unique concoction of a splash of a colours, hundreds of plants, curious artefacts and a virtual menagerie of adopted dogs, birds, cats, squirrels, a fleet of fish - and the occasional friendly neighbourhood monkey.The idea for myBageecha as born when Shishir needed easy access to a wide range of plants to grow his garden further, beyond what was offered by local nurseries. When his two sons Sharad and Saumitra returned home after spending many years in the bustling concrete jungle of Mumbai, , they resonated with this need, since it was increasingly impossible to procure suitable plants for their home by travelling to nurseries which had shifted well outside the cities.The family behind myBageecha, the Kabras, have always been close to nature, with a love for flora and fauna passed on across generations.

Vastu Shastra is an environmental science which observes the workings of natural forces and records how magnetic poles, sun rays, and land compositions influence living things. As per the primitive system of vastu for garden, it’s important for the five basic elements to work in harmony to enable the seeds to germinate, develop and grow healthily. Imbalance of any element, whether soil (earth), sun (fire), wind (air), water or space, will slow down the development and may even lead to irreversible damage.
As a general rule, a garden must be in the North or West side and inside the borders of the compound.
