Mishti and Meethi's Garden

Located in Ahmedabad, this small garden creates an immersive landscape through planting, movement and changing layers of vegetation.

The central idea was to create a world of fractals, allowing visitors to lose themselves within the garden while moving between different spaces. Trails weave through the planting, offering multiple ways to move through the landscape. Rather than following a single route, each path reveals a different relationship between the body and the surrounding flora.

A wide palette of native and adapted species creates layers of colour, texture and density, concealing and revealing a series of smaller worlds within the garden. Planting reaches into the paths and brushes against the body as one moves through it, making the experience tactile as well as visual.

The garden changes with every moment, day and season. Spaces emerge and disappear among the planting, while shifts in colour and texture continually alter the character of the landscape. What appears small from the outside unfolds into a garden of different moods, experiences and discoveries.

Designed as a landscape to be explored rather than simply viewed, the garden invites a slower and more instinctive way of moving through nature, a place where getting lost becomes part of the experience.
