Govardhan Gardens,
located close to the town of Mayaguez (Puerto Rico)
is home to the largest tropical fruit & nut collection (600+ species)
in the Caribbean and Central America.
The botanical collection also includes 100 tropical bamboo species.
My 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.
