About
A variety of over two hundred different plants, most of them native Mexican plants, makes for a unique and special experience to any and all plant-lovers.

The orchard has grown to sustain several species of birds, insects, mammals, and reptiles; discovering such relations can help us bridge the gap between ourselves and our food. The yumminess of a live, fresh patch of Swiss chard can’t be easily matched—it’s like you’re meant to take a bite. Ideal for plant enthusiasts and adventure seekers, you'll gain insider knowledge...
