GARDENS
ECO-ORGANIC FRUIT TREE & BAMBOO NURSERY
Govardhan Gardens,
located close by Mayaguez (Puerto Rico)
is an eco farm and tropical rare fruit & bamboo nursery.
Its goal is to inspire a natural life style,
care for the earth and environment,
as well as to encourage independent living and thought,
grassroots social cooperation,
and meaningful, self-sufficiency oriented lifestyles
outside the grid of a media/consumer-created culture.

| Gold or money
has become the standard benchmark of success in our society.
Ironically, the pursuit of this type of temporary wealth has often
led to exploitation of humans, animals, plants and natural
resources in general.
ORO VERDE explains how the mentality behind this
value system has caused a global crisis that is much deeper than
most of us are aware of.
ORO VERDE
takes you on a journey of consciousness that is required to
achieve an environmentally sound way of life.
