The Kandyan Forest Garden

Kandyan Forest Gardens are located in mid country region of Sri Lanka, predominantly in the district of Kandy. Kandyan Forest Gardens are unique in the high levels of functional plant diversity they contain. Often called "living forests," these gardens mimic the structure of a natural tropical rainforest to produce a sustainable bounty of food, medicine, and timber. It is a traditional cropping system practice for centuries. This is the oldest agro forestry system in Asia.
