In keeping with our environmental policies, all of our young gardens are organic, benefitting regularly from a rotating four compost bin system. We have planted well over a hundred trees, mostly fruit bearing, and have vegetable plots dotted all around the site.
Each cottage is set in its own large, organic garden, and we have attempted to plant a wide variety of fruits, vegetable and flowers in each one. The trees are still young, but as they grow each cottage will become more secluded. The larger they grow, and as the fruit trees have begun to bear first fruits, the more birds we are seeing on site.
We have planted a huge variety of trees, plants and flowers, and so if you wish to see how different things are grown and what the plants or trees look like 3 Rivers is a good place to learn and enjoy. Our trees are young, and growing fast, and our veggie beds are flourishing.
We use our compost to provide nourishment for our gardens, and various froms of organic pest control, using some of our crops to deter the pests, such as papaya to attract thje slugs away from the greens, and seasoning pepper and garlic spray to deter other bugs.
Most of the vegetables we eat are grown on our land, and as time goes on, we hope to be completely self-sufficient with regards to fruit and vegetables. There are also a large number of vines all around, from Kiwi fruit and passion fruit, to cucumber and christophine. Our aim is not only to supply us and our guests with as much natural food as we can, but also to show our visitors the variety of foods available locally, and how they grow. To this end, we are in the process of labelling our crops.
