The Gardens in the Ashrama have developed over the past three decades. When the Ashrama began in 1966, one of the first horticultural activities was the planting of hundreds of non-hybridized coconut trees on its western boundary. These trees are still yielding coconuts today that are used for Puja and cooking. This was followed by the cultivation of roses, jasmine and other varieties of seasonal flowers for Puja use. Herbal plants were also started in different areas as time went on. In the early 80's, the beautiful, tall and robust palm trees which now line the Ashrama's main entrance road were planted. The Ashram has a nakshatra garden which has medicinal plans related to particular Nakshatra (Constellation). There is a beautiful Bonsai Garden, which hosts Bonsai of various species all through out the world. By the side of the Bonsai Graden Herbal Tea developed by ashram is sold.
