| I’d like to welcome Sadhu and his Eco Farm Govardhan Gardens to our eco community. Here’s a brief summary of their vision…
Govardhan Gardens is a popular eco-farm on the west coast of Puerto Rico. It is the home of the most diversified collection of tropical fruit and nut trees in the Caribbean. To help preserve and spread biological and genetic diversity in the tropics, the Garden’s nursery offers seeds of over 100 types of organically grown tropical fruits and nuts which are shipped internationally. Recently, about 40 species of structural, edible and ornamental bamboos have been added to the collection and nursery. Yearly,Cheep replica shoes, hundreds of visitors enjoy tours through the property. The farm serves as an educational role model for anyone interested in alternative tropical agriculture. Workshops and seminars about tropical fruit and bamboo are offered locally. The owner, Sadhu Govardhan, helps land owners in the entire Caribbean to develop eco-farms and he regularly holds conferences about sustainability, exotic tropical fruits and the importance of bamboo. People around the world are participating in sponsoring Govardhan Garden’s tree planting project. For a minimal amount, people can have a special tree planted in their names. Sadhu Govardhan’s recently published “Oro Verde – Securing the Future of our Food” has helped change the view about ecological farming in the tropics and is used by hundreds of students, farmers and agricultural educators. If you ever plan to buy land in the Caribbean, Sadhu can help you with finding, analyzing and developing the land. Farming-related e-mail questions are answered for free. Visit Sadhu’s website for more information on how you can get involved and if you are in search of any land in that area. |
