Sam Santosh, a US-based entrepreneur, dreamt of creating a garden of medicinal plants on the land that he had purchased. He shared his vision with Manoj P, who was a naturalist.

Recreating a garden of flora referring to the book of Hortus Malabaricus was not an easy journey for them, as most of the species were endangered. With patience and determination, they not only could collect plant and flower species that were given in the ancient book of Hortus Malabaricus but also collected several other interesting plant species. Now there are more than 1500 species in the garden. The collection drive is still on. It will take two more years to be completed and opened to the public.
