Green Park Spices plantation

Fantastic Place!
This was the second spice garden we visited in Thekaddy, only this one is actually a garden. The owner and guide was VERY informative and interesting. So many varieties of plants and we were able to try many of them.
Unlike the other spice place, this location does not have a hard sell at the end to buy their produces, although we still did because the quality is obviously much better than in the town vendors.

It was a great experience and i learned about different kind of spices. Mr. Benny is very knowledgeable. They grow all spices and other ayurvedic plants. The Spice garden is an excellent place to visit. I stayed there for 3 nights in treehouse and it was amazing experience..

Inside there is a nice and beautiful spice shop and rates are genuine. Owner of shop Mr. Tajuddin is nice humble always smiling 😊😊

After reading a few reviews we decided to go to Green Park Spices. Mr. Benny, the owner and also our tour guide was filled with lots of information about the spices and other plants. He was very passionate and got to learn a lot! The entrance fee is totally worth it!

We had a wonderful experience here. Our guide explained a lot of interesting plants - their origins, how their parts are processed used and their benefits.

One hour spent well.
They have cultivated so many plants at one place, sustainable as Mr Benny said. He shared so much information about each and every plant and spices like their origin, medical use, scientific names, etc.
They also have plants like cocoa, avacado, passion fruit, vanilla and many others.

Must visit if you want to get information and buy original spices.

I had visited this place 10 years back. I was thoroughly inspired by the work by Mr. Benny here. So this time also I decided to visit the place when I came to Thekkady. The garden is still maintained well with some changes. Mr. Benny has the same enthusiasm with which I saw him 10 years back. Unique plant varieties are there and are explained well by the staffs there. Highly recommended for a visit and buy some quality spices from the shop there. The shop is also very well maintained with decent priced quality products.

This is a beautiful place! I joined a lovely tour with the knowledgeable owner who explains everything about the different types of plants and spices and how they are used in Ayurvedic medicine. We tasted many different fresh spices. It was very interesting and the place is so peaceful. I can't recommend it enough!

Visited this place based on reviews on Google. It's a 13 acre property. They charge Rs. 100 per adult. Kids are free. Approx 30mins of guided plantation tour. We had 1 guide for 4 adults. Among others, saw figs, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaves, all spice tree, cloves, turmeric, vanilla, cocoa and coffee beans, tamarind trees. The information shared was precious.
They also share taste samples of spices, cashew nuts and chocolates that they sell. We picked up some spices, rates were not too high. They also sell oils and ayurvedic products. You are under no obligation to purchase. Time and money well spent.

A must visit spice garden + farm in Tekkaddy especially with kids. It was a very informative tour of different spices , plants or trees..even experiencing the taste of various fruits and texture of plant leaves etc. All this in a very nominal fee. Highly recommended.

Great place to learn about spices.
They have a huge variety of spices and teach you several things about them.
In the end you can buy products from their store.

We got to explore different spices, plants and get to know so much about them. It was an insightful experience. We got to try different spices too. They also have a little store with a varied spices, oils and products that one could indulge in.

Worth visiting. Best spices and botanical garden in Thekkady. One of the best activities to do in Periyar. You could spend hours in here. Highly reccomended.

Excellent experience. This is not a regular spice plantation or tour in the area. Benny the owner, is a sustainable farmers who is incredibly knowledgeable about the plants and farming in the area. You will learn so much during this tour!

This place was amazing, our guide Noushad was very knowledgeable. He knew everything and could answer all our questions. The plantation is well maintained and is very calming. We learnt lots about various Indian spices.
The tour lasted an hour and cost only 100 rupee's each which I felt was excellent value. Our tour was also private just me and my husband which made the experience even more pleasurable. Definitely recommend this plantation 100%

Really nice visit in the spice garden ! They’ve thaught me a lot about tropical spices 🌿 The garden is beautiful and full of different species ! And you finish the visit with a wonderful shop where you can buy their products :) thank you again

The one of the great place to visit in Thekkady & their tree house is amazing with hanging bridge suits best for couples and gained the knowledge about spices and plants ☘ it's was pleasant stay in their tree house 🏡

Visited at a drizzling Sunday evening
Lovely weather
Full of green plants and lovely new flowers
Good parking space
Lovely people
Can't not spend a lot of time here though
But It's good and lovely

An unforgettable experience. We thought it was closed because of COVID as no one was in the counter, but knocked the door and they responded. Highly recommended. The tour is really insightful and enjoyable. Definitely a must do during a stay in Thekkady!

Mr. Benny explained about the spices and many trees, sustainable environmental management. Also explained history and how it connects spice business with Indian subcontinent. All of these with minimal charge. Will recommend to anyone!

Hats off to owner Mr. Benny sir. who is doing this program not for his personal benefit but to promote organic agriculture, for benefit of future generation. The place is bigger and does not only have spice plantation but all kind of agriculture production including fruits, vegetables and glimpse of fish farming etc. Sir not only explains the importance of each plant but also gives information about its history (from where it came) and why we need to preserve it. He also refers to ancient Indian culture to worship plants through some rituals and the real reason behind it. In 1 hour program he gave so much information about plants and collaborative agriculture that while leaving we might not remembered that all.. but left with our heart filled with grace. I personally feel if person like Mr. Benny becomes agriculture minister, the economy of India will boost.
