Garden of Eaten

Sixty tropical and exotic fruit trees, planted over two decades. Take the guidebook, and taste your way through the seasons.

Introduction

Over the past twenty years, more than sixty tropical and exotic fruit trees have been planted across the Ecolodge grounds. We affectionately call it the Garden of Eaten — and guests are warmly welcome to wander it.

Pick up the tropical fruits guidebook from the office and set off between the rows. Depending on the season you might find custard apples, finger limes, mulberries, or something you have never tasted before.

 

Inside the Orchard

Half the pleasure is in the smell — crush a leaf, breathe in, and let the orchard surprise you. The other half is in the patience: fruit ripens on its own schedule, a gentle reminder of the rhythm this place keeps.
Whatever is in season is yours to taste. Just ask us what’s ready, and we’ll point you toward the sweetest trees.
