Finding joy in the beauty of nature

Located in Cheruthuruthy, Thrissur District, Kerala, this 26-acre garden draws inspiration from the 17th-century Hortus Malabaricus, the monumental botanical work by Dutch commander Hendrik van Rheede.

Dedicated to the conservation and study of Kerala’s native medicinal plants and the endemic flora of the Western Ghats, the garden features over 1,200 species, including 739 documented in van Rheede’s treatise.
