While following her grandmother’s journey of composting, her involvement and dedication to her garden really stood out to Megha Padubidri. Her grandmother immensely enjoys gardening and has spent a long time making the garden into what it is today. Her garden is filled with various flowering plants, herbs, and fruit trees. She tends to the garden herself and enjoys being there. Although she lives off a busy road, the garden is alive with the sounds of birds, bees and sometimes monkeys. To her, composting isn’t a science but rather an art, something that has to be perfected over time. She documents the composting technique — what goes into it, where and how it happens, and more.
