Here's what farmers, communities, and volunteers have to say...

Ankur Mahato

Purulia

Backyard Botanist helped us look at farming differently. They explained how agroforestry can improve the land while also becoming a source of support for the future. The team guided us during the plantation process and helped us choose species that suited our farm well. What I appreciated most was that they kept checking on the plantation even after the work was completed. Today, the farm feels greener, and we feel more hopeful about the future.

Rabindranath Naskar

South 24 Parganas

Our experience with Backyard Botanist has been very good. They explained everything clearly and helped us understand how agroforestry can benefit both the farm and the environment over time. The plantation has improved the overall condition of the land, and it also feels reassuring to know that these trees can become an additional source of income for the family in the future.
