Biodiversity

 When Blackberry Estate was taken over by a team of environmentalists, it was a neglected cardamom plantation thoroughly damaged by the so called modern farming techniques.  During the last decade, organic farming was adopted and agricultural activity was limited to 25% of the total land.  A simple grass called vetiver is extensively used  for a multiple purposes including land stabilization, water purification, water conservation etc.  You can learn the new technology of farming without causing sheet erosion in a slope in our agricultural farm.

You will be amazed by the variety of tropical plants and trees at Blackberry Estate.  The message we try to pass from here is “co-existence of all plants, trees, insects and other creatures in a truly sustainable world”.  The souvenir we request our guests to carry is a tiller of vetiver which is offered free from Blackberry Estate.
