GOVARDHAN GARDENS
TROPICAL FRUIT TREE,
SEED & BAMBOO NURSERY  

HURRICANE FIONA UPDATE 03/15/2023:
  

Almost exactly 5 years after Hurricane Maria's islandwide destruction, Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico with massive amounts of rain and/or steady wind gusts over 100 mph for over 24 hours from September 18 to 19. Unfortunately, my farm was again hit extremely hard and looks like a war zone: landslides; hundreds of trees snapped in half; thousands of branches that will need to be removed; my newly built greenhouse and nursery structure again destroyed. 

I spent the first six months after Fiona with clearing and cleaning work of the front area of Govardhan Gardens. I also managed to build two greenhouses that are already planted out.
  I am just now beginning to open up trails throughout the farm. Based on previous experiences, it looks like it will take about 2 more years to clean up the farm + repair the damage. Aside of loosing rare tropical fruit species, the damage to structures + labor needed will cost around $25,000.

IThe bamboo nursery is most likely the first to be back on its feet,
and orders can be processed throughout 2023.
