After that I started maintaining people's garden at a small level. About after a year I got a big project from ‘Ansals  Group Daily’ in Jodhpur. Along with this I worked on government and defense projects in different cities. Then I gave my whole focus to my work as a landscape consultant. It would not be wrong to say that it is because of these plants that I have got new life today.
