Although the nursery is open to tourists, it primarily sells plants, plant products and accessories to Nicaraguans. (As tourists, we weren't actually permitted to take plants out of the country.) Farmers, townspeople and businesses all buy their decorative plants here.
The nursery specializes in native Nicaraguan plants, but carries some imports and a large number of grafted plants. We loved the fresh scents of coriander and cinnamon, and were impressed by the jasmines, heliotropes, cacti and foliage of many kinds that covered several acres.

Very cool - such unique greens!
So love all the flowers and plants. Wish we had this selection here. And I am so impressed with everywhere you've been.
Thanks, Natalie! We love to travel, and we've been so lucky to visit the places we've been.
So unique! Love those pics. I wonder if they'd consider our maple trees and crocuses exotic? :)
I love checking out nurseries and gardens when I travel- this one looks so exotic! Thanks for sharing your pictures-sounds like a fun experience ;-)
Such lush, beautiful, almost alien-like, flora! (It's a shame you couldn't stow away a few seedlings.) Nicaragua was featured on the Travel Channel a few years ago - I've been mesmerized ever since.
love nurseries when we were India got my mum in law a small plant and was amazed that they are all so similar all over the world :-)
Very pretty flowers!
So lovely! And your daughter with that hat is a vision as well :)
How beautiful! I love the bright colors of the tropical flowers.
I like how different all the flowers and plants are from what we normally see! Really pretty.
