Vrikshalaya creates timeless gardens—food forests, orchards, and landscapes that celebrate nature’s abundance. Our work is rooted in agroecology and biodiversity. We don’t just design gardens—we reconnect people with nature’s abundance: edible plants, wild herbs, fruits, and nuts that thrive in our ecosystems. By reviving underused and native species, we preserve cultural heritage while shaping resilient food systems for the future.
Our mission is to create gardens of purposes and themes with the integration of underused and neglected plants (edibles and ornamentals) of Nepal.
We create timeless, perennial gardens that celebrate diversity, nurture ecosystems, and bring people closer to nature.
