Find some green friends at this nursery in Altinho, Panjim

GREEN BUDDIES

Located within the premises of Jogger's Park at Altinho-Panjim, the Campa Nursery offers some green picks. Here's a list of a few...

SEEING RED

At the nursery, there are plenty of saplings of kokum, whose fruits aren't just consumed straight up, but also processed into drinks or used as spice in Goan kitchens.

CITRUSY COOL

Plant these, and you'll never run out of lime, which is rich in vitamin C, and widely used in local marinades.

TASTY TAMARIND

In Goa, almost everyone's grown up eating the sweet-sour tamarind fruit, locally used to make candy and chutney. These plants require minimal maintenance to grow.

BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL

Jackfruits, considered to be very nutritious, are a summer delight in the State, and the tree is a must-have in every backyard.

BLACK PLUM

Another local summer fruit is jamun, which is packed with medicinal properties, and whose tree is widely found in Goa.

NUTTY SNACK

Lastly, plant these badam saplings, whose inedible fruit has a healthy and delicious almond nut that's rich in vitamin E.
