GOVARDHAN GARDEN'S
PROJECT
Govardhan Gardens
is an experimental, constantly evolving project. My research and
practical work at my farm are geared towards food self-sufficiency.
Over the years, many friends and helpers have enjoyed observing the
development of the project, and many individuals and groups have
toured the farm.
