Nursery work at a plant nursery in Jabarkhet, Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India. Two workers are shown preparing a large quantity of potting mix for container gardening and plant propagation activities. The material spread across a white plastic sheet appears to be cocopeat or a similar organic growing substrate commonly used to improve soil aeration and water retention. One worker is dressed in a blue-and-black tracksuit with a striped beanie, while the other wears a high-visibility orange jacket with reflective strips. The process involves handling, mixing, and organizing the substrate for horticultural use. The footage highlights practical nursery and gardening operations in a Himalayan plant cultivation setting.
