Kolkata, 02nd June, 2026: This World Environment Day, Garden Café is extending its love for all things green beyond its premises. As part of the celebration, Garden Café will give away saplings to environmental contributors, encouraging a small but meaningful step towards a greener future.
The initiative reflects Garden Café’s belief that caring for the environment often begins with simple everyday actions. While the sapling serves as a reminder to nurture nature at home, sustainability remains an ongoing practice at Garden Café throughout the year.
Among its regular initiatives, is a responsible food waste management system. All food waste generated at the café is sent to piggeries, ensuring it is put to productive use rather than being discarded in landfills. The vegetarian practice supports a more mindful approach to environmental impact.
Through the sapling giveaway and its ongoing waste reduction efforts, Garden Café continues to believe that sustainability is best practiced quietly, consistently and one thoughtful step at a time.
World Environment Day message for all on behalf of the Founder, Garden Café, Mr. Sandip Nowlakha –
“Our planet doesn’t need perfect people — it needs people who care. This World Environment Day, let’s do one small thing: plant a tree.
Because there’s no other Planet for us.”
