GOVARDHAN GARDENS
TROPICAL FRUIT SEED SALE
UPDATE 01/06/2023:
Hurricane Maria (Sept. 20th, 2017) turned out to be the worst natural disaster in Puerto Rico's recorded history. Vast parts of the rare fruit collection were severely damaged or completely destroyed. We worked tirelessly for the past 3.5 years to restore as much as possible, but it will take at least until November 2021 to finish with the basic clean up the farm, and much longer to re-plant it.
The farm was hit again hard by Hurricane Fiona (Sept. 2022), right after the farm was cleaned up from most of Hurricane Maria's damage. It will take again about 3 years to clean up the farm.
I will therefore not be able to process any seed orders until at least September 2025.
If you want to support the project in any way, you can send donations via Paypal to: sadhuoroverde@gmail.com or by check, written out to Sadhu, send to POB 8132, Mayaguez 00681, PR. (Please make sure to declare any payment as "Hurricane Relief Donation).
Thank you all for your understanding and support!
Govardhan Gardens offers over 175 common and rare exotic tropical fruit and nut seeds (listed below). This is the widest selection of fresh tropical fruit seeds in the Caribbean!
All seeds are from eco-organically grown trees; they are harvested from ripe fruits and they are shipped within 48 hours after being cleaned and surface-sterilized. The shipping cost depends on the size and the weight of the seeds. Please read the following information carefully before ordering any seeds:
The seeds can be shipped with regular air mail priority mail, global priority mail (unfortunately, the postage was raised in January 2016 to $35) or express mail (2 types of global express mail: 7-10 day delivery and 3-4 day delivery). Please verify the availability of the seeds you are interested in before you send your order. Some species are high in demand and often pre-ordered.
New minimum order per species: $20
Minimum order: $60.
Below, you will find 3 lists:
1) A list of currently available seeds (updated as soon as
a new species is available - approximately once a week).
Please only order from this list, except if you want to
prepay for large amounts of one or more specific species.
2) A complete list of fruit and nut species
available throughout the year + prices
3) A month-by-month listing of seeds throughout the year
I can only process orders of seeds that are available at the time of the order! Exceptions are large amounts of prepaid seeds.
By clicking on the common name (complete seed list), you will see photographs of the fruits you are interested in.
At the end of this page, I added a wish list for anyone who wants to trade seeds with me, or who has seeds for sale.
Payment options: Inquire before making an order.

Gold or money has become the standard benchmark of success in our society. Ironically, the pursuit of this type of temporary wealth has primarily led to the exploitation of humans, animals, plants and natural resources in general.
"Oro Verde" sold out quickly, but I am planning to publish an online version before May 2014. !
