Millions of people in northern latitudes decorate their home with ornamentals - all those greens have something in common - they are species from the tropics. Beside coffee we grow tropical ornamental plants and flowers. Come and see the origin of your ‘green friends’ in your home in northern latitudes! Admire more than 150 varities of Heliconia, Anthurium, palms, gingers, bromeliads and others. Our ornamentals are sold at the international market and in Guatemala as well. We sell plants, flowers and arrangements. Heliconia, Ginger and Anthurium are the main blooming plants. About 1000 species of Anthurium are known in Latin America. Most of the species occur as epiphytic plants in tropical South America. In Tarrales we cultivate 21 varieties. Most of the Heliconia species we are cultivating have their origin in Hawaii, South and Central America, including Guatemala. We are members of the Heliconia Society International, sharing our experience with others interested in these exotic-looking plants. Palms and cycas we grow mainly for their decorative leaves, which are useful in arrangements. Our cultivation of ornamentals is also integrated in the sustainable production process. We use the composted organic garbage from the coffee production for ground fertilizing. You may reserve a guided tour through our ornamentals plantation. Click here to view costs.
