Montoso Gardens is a 90 acre (36 ha) botanical garden, tropical flower and fruit farm, and nursery with over 600 species
of exotic tropical flowers, fruits, nuts, spices, and palms.
Located on the south slope of
Pico Montoso mountain, at 1500 feet (457 m) altitude in the heart of the rugged coffee growing region in
Maricao, Puerto Rico, Montoso Gardens is a paradise for plants and wildlife.
Day temperatures average 85 F (29 C) and nights 70 F (21 C) year round. Annual rainfall is 100

The
farm borders the 5,000 acre (2023 ha) Maricao State Forest, and is registered as an Auxiliary Forest by the Puerto Rico Department of
Natural Resources. Although we are not yet 100% organic, we make extensive use
of sustainable agricultural techniques, including interplanting, cover crops,
mulching, promotion of biodiversity and extremely limited use of synthetic
chemicals.
