  • We returned to Costa Rica last year (June 2019) after being away for a year! Our first stop was at "The Ark" Herb Farm and Botanical Gardens. Owner and Founder, Tommy Thomas gave us a tour of this amazing and beautiful site. The Ark is Costa Rica's largest botanical garden and their mission is to create a space of reflection open to all people and to promote the education, conservation correct use of plants. We had the pleasure of sampling some exotic fruit with our guide and new friend, Daniel Batalla and reunited with our friend, Paul Zink. This is Part 1 of 2 videos we made at "The Ark", so stay tuned for the next part!

I have to say it was the best wine I have ever made. I am so jealous of all the fruit tasting, as I am a forager. This would be the closest to heaven for me.

It was definitely a trip for 10 or 15 minutes. I was surprised to not see any Papaver Somniferum in the sacred garden. If I had the resources of this old man I'd have hectares full of it.

      Comfrey is a great support species, and dynamic nutrient accumulator. It is a highly nutritive chop & drop. Mines nutrients in the soil and makes them bioavailable for surrounding plants. As Tommy mentioned, it helps break down the clay soil, and it also shades the soil at the base of trees.
      Also a wonderful medicinal plant!

    Elaeagnus is extremely common when I grew up and is a terrible nuisance for landscaping if not kept in check. the ripe fruits are quite tasty but not worth harvesting because of pit to meat ratio, you get NOTHING from them but a taste. they are nice to grab a handful when mowing the lawn though.
