Local conditions

Planning for Kolkata's climate

Fig. 01Climate and soil

Kolkata is hot and humid with a long, heavy monsoon. Drainage is the first thing to get right in any garden, and plants need protection from fungal disease in the rains.

Fig. 02When to plant and how to care

Plant trees at the start of the monsoon. Winter from November to February is the season for flowers and vegetables, which is when Kolkata's gardens look best.
