An interview was conducted in seven nurseries with no. of respondents obtaining qualitative data. Need for sustainable textile options were ascertained and novelty in consumption of sustainable solutions was identified. There is a need for popularising sustainable textile options for enhanced horticulture with proper marketing strategies. It was observed that cocopeat is the only sustainable material which is being used by three nurseries.
