Native Indian plants are becoming a preferred choice for landscaping because they grow naturally in local climate and soil conditions. Unlike exotic plants, native species require less water, minimal chemical treatment and lower maintenance once established.
In cities like Kolkata and across West Bengal, where heat, humidity and monsoon seasons strongly affect plant health, native plant landscaping offers long-term sustainability. EcoTerrace provides professional landscaping services that focus on native Indian plants for gardens, terraces, balconies and large outdoor spaces.
