We commenced our project more than 24 years ago, first a subsistence farm, and more recently (1990) as a private ethno-botanical gardens. We travel the tropical regions of the world and specialise in plants that indigenous rainforest cultures have and still use for their foods, spices, shelter, medicine, cosmetics, fibres, oils, dyes- in fact for all their everyday needs.
Philosophy, friends, and future
Our tropical climate encourages the growth of lush rainforests. Our annual rainfall is 3800mm (150”) of which 2/3 falls in the period Dec-May. Our average temperatures range from 31.3C (88F) max./22.5C (72.5F) min. in summer to 24.7C (76.5F) max/16.0C (60.8F) min. in our cool months.
