June is a colourful and vibrant month. Not just for festivals and beautiful flowers blooming, June is also a time to celebrate Pride & Inclusiveness within our community. I am especially excited to showcase how I support small local businesses through Dil se Local Challenge of @AjitThite and Pride with Local Guides.
Dil se Local Challenge has always been about acknowledging and supporting Small Local Businesses during festival times. Regardless of gender or religion, Dil se Local has been an inclusive initiative on supporting local businesses which tend to focus on shops selling products during festival months like flowers, gifts, sweets etc..
Chalai is known for its availability of a variety of products for cost effectiveness. Chalai streets contain small local businesses & street vendors which sell products like clothes, jewellery, home products, flowers, fruits etc.. I have done my first meetup there as a photo walk where me and other local guides tend to cover & support local businesses on Google Maps.
Morning walk through chalai has always been refreshing to see flower shops bloom in the early morning.
I edited 7 Flower shops seen inside Chalai. Out of 7, 3 were newly added to Google Maps & rest got updated with new store front photos.
Flower bouquet arranged in front of Flower Bazaar.
Flower garlands are placed at Sreelekshmi & Sree Padmanabha Flowers.
Flowers are displayed to make garlands at Sree Vinayaka Flowers & Perfumery Merchant Shop.
Share such florist or flower garland shops near you to support small local businesses by participating in Dil se Local Challenge.
