Farm on terrace, Doctor couple in Siddipet grows 800 plants at home

After realising the ill effects of the pesticides being sprayed on vegetable and fruit crops, a doctor couple started growing their own garden on the terrace of their house eight years ago.

From leafy vegetables to fruits on the roof garden, the couple now meets their kitchen needs apart from sharing with their friends and



relatives.

Well-known dentists in Siddipet, Dr DN Swamy and his wife Dr Sridevi, who runs

Abhirami Dental Hospital, have 700 to 800 plants on the 2,000 square feet terrace of their house located at Kanchara Bazar. The terrace garden has 15 vegetable plants including leafy vegetables, 10 fruit-bearing plants and 15 herbal plants.
