Superb place to connect with nature. It’s a heaven on earth if you like nature and peace. Surrounded by lush green tea gardens and fruit trees. Live stocks like goats,... read more cows, chickens, ducks, and what not. Above all the care takers, Shushma and her husband Hari. We became so connected in a week’s time that it looks difficult to forget them all. Best place to do creative things like writing a book in peace or composing a music and do work from home with doodle ( no WiFi). Good place with basic facilities with a good price. Excellent home made food with 90% home grown vegetables and fruits. Nature lovers don’t think, go ahead. Have a nice time.

  The Green Gardens farm is a quaint little place that's just ideal for a short break from the city. Its clean and organised and ideal for long walks along the... read more tea gardens in and around the farm. Biba, the caretaker is lovely and her food is simple, homely but wonderfully cooked.

I went there for a solo trip and I got exactly what I was looking for. I never felt unsafe there. Mr Laiju and his wife are extremely warm and welcoming people and they took care of every little detail.

  Very good peaceful place. Vegetarian food three times given for rhm members. Location is good and is close to Edekkal caves. Host is friendly. Workers Sushma and Hari... read more are good. Room is big and bathroom is big. only vegetarian food was served plus eggs and omlette. nice place. you will be given non veg food if you ask. but vegetarian is good for health. Good tea was provided without milk but I didn't ask milk based chai. this is not a big deal for me. overall it was a nice experience. yoga class was offered.

  We visited from 16th to 26th October, that is me and my wife, we had planned a long holiday after many years, we were little apprehensive about our stay at... read more Green Garden farm, but were hopeful that it will turnout to be good after reading the reviews and so we took a risk, but it turn out to be very good decision in the end, I am quite familiar with Wayanad as I love this place alot, I had been to Wayanad many times in last few years, We reached the place around 4pm, check-in was quick and we immediately entered our room, which was quite basic as expected, bathroom was right outside the room no overhead shower, room and bathroom were clean, outside the place was full of trees, tea gardens, wherever you turn your head it was green,What a sight for sore eyes,nature at is best, early morning walks were great, everywhere we could see was so soothing for eyes and mind,birds singing, cows mooing, goats bleating,duck quacking, about a km away a canal was full of water flowing,we got everyday fresh eggs to eat,fresh milk to drink, Sushma and Hari the person who looks after the guests were very good natured,were always there to help us,then Mr. Laiju himself was available to guide us,he came visiting us two to three times we had good time chatting with him,then there was one more couple from U S with their kid Ukko the iconic child, the couple Christopher and Laura are really very friendly and helping nature,we had great time chatting with them knowing their culture and sharing ours with them. But I would warn those who are accustomed to hotel rooms type of service please avoid, you will feel disappointed, better book some hotel room,here you have to work alongside Sushma for your breakfast, lunch and dinner, and enjoy with them your cooking and cleaning etc. If I get a chance from my busy life to visit again Wayanad, I would definitely book this place again,For non veg eaters this place is big no. Already missing Wayanad.

  The Green Garden is an amazing place to stay at Wayanad, nestled among the forest and tea plantations around. If you love nature and have an open mind to absorb... read more its essence look no further. Hospitality and the smile of all the people who care for and work at the farm is unparalleled.

It’s totally safe, very tranquil and private, and an... read more all-around retreat-like environment. The flora and fauna are vast and interesting, there are fun critters running around the farm if you’re still enough to wait for them. The room was cools be quiet and spacious, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big! Laiju and his family were very helpful in setting up trips to town and helped me with everything I needed. I was traveling totally solo, and I couldn’t have felt safer honestly. And of course, my two sweet loves, Hari and Sushma, worked on the farm everyday and we became fast friends. They are both such gems, and were extremely accommodating. They showed me so much love and kindness, the language barrier really stopped mattering after a while. Oh and The food was absolutely delicious and fresh—like super fresh.

There are trails to walk throughout the farm, not to mention some lovely little village roads to run around. You will get lost in the vast array of fruit trees and crops. And if you’re lucky, Laiju will sell you some fresh coffee and black pepper to take home. Don’t miss your chance to do the pepper dance, either—it’s legendary.

Please do yourself a favor and stay here. Check out the organization, give it a go, and let your soul decide. It knows the way!

I got to meet very warm and kind people in village.

There is so much to write about it, I would suggest you to just go and experience it yourself! It's a must have experience.

  One of the best decision of 2021 was to visit Wayanad. We planned this trip to take a break from hustle bustle of city life and nothing could have been... read more better than THE GREEN GARDEN farm stay. We loved this place soo much that we decided to spend more time in the Lap of Mother Nature rather than visiting too many touristy places.

To talk about the hospitality that was shown by Mr Laiju including their staff, is way more than what we expected. Despite of Mr. Laiju's absence, his continuous effort of communicating and coordinating with staff made our stay and trip seamless and comfortable. We enjoyed farm grown fresh produce & delicious Kerala cuisine food cooked by Sushma. We got to know a lot about sustainable living practices and experiences with our interaction with Sushma and Hari.

A special thanks to Mr Laiju for an amazing birthday surprise arrangement for my spouse on her special day.

We are gonna cherish the memories of Wayanad journey with TGG Foundation for long time and looking forward to our next visit very soon.

In short, our 5 day stay at farm was full of new experiences, learning and moments which cant be described in words!

  I would rate this more than 5-stars if I could.

Laiju and sushma will take great care of you, and you will leave feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and hopeful about the future of our world. This place is one of a kind. Switch off and get in touch!

  This has two of my most favourote things come together:
1. Nature - 6 acres of adundant nature just for you. Breathing the air and let the birds fly by... read more your side are pleasures you can never get bored of.

2. Food - Biba's home made Malyali food is heavenly. Never had such delicious, authentic local food.

And to top it the philosophy with which Mr. Laiju ]has set this up - real sustainability amidst the greed of capitalism. He was gracious enough to inivte me at his house for the wonderful dinner and we had such diverse and immersive talks over the days I spent there.

The facilities are essential so go there not for the luxury but for the experience you will have.

  We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the Farm. Laiju was very friendly and the communication was always helpful.
You have to be an RHM-member to stay at the... read more farm but getting the membership is an easy task. To realize the sustainability-goals you have to fulfill requirements which are flexible and easily done.
All in all we enjoyed the green remote farm and the few days we spend there!

  This is a very special place indeed. I had a wonderful 5 days and nights in this beautiful part of the World. Sushma, Hari and Laiju deserve all the rave... read more reviews they get, 5 stars all over. The hospitality, the kindness, the attention, the facilities, the gorgeous homemade vegeterian food, the peace and quiet, the beautiful surroundings, the birds singing etc etc. It just felt very very good, and I was sad to leave, and hopefully I will be back sooner than later. Highly highly recommended for nature loving people who want to get a real feel of rural Kerala.

  We really loved staying at Laiju's farm and by the hospitality he and his wife has offered. This place is must to stay place for someone who wants to hide... read more from crowd and get a piece.

  My girlfriend and I stayed at Laiju’s place for our trip in wayanad and it was one of our best experiences together. The place is far from the busy streets... read more and is instead located in nature. This allows a lot of opportunity to disconnect and live much more simply. The hosts were super caring and helpful always responding to any questions or concerns that we had. The nature surrounding the airbnb is very lush providing many things to do and see. The airbnb also provided a food option of three meals a day and each of them were extremely fresh and delicious. I highly recommend Laiju’s place to someone looking for a raw and beautiful experience in some of the best nature India has to offer.

  Wonderful stay at the Green Gardens farm. I stayed here solo and enjoyed the privacy and space to connect with nature. I felt safe.

Host Laiju and his wife... read more I cannot thank enough especially for helping me with transport and arranging some activities.

My advice would be to stay for at least 4 days ( more, weeks if you can) to connect with the place and relax. It is worth travelling to, but please ask Laiju on best way to get there as I took a awful sleeper bus that was quite traumatic! There are much better ways to get tho the farm.

Someone local cooked food for me three times a day which was wonderful and is also a great thing to do.

It is a place to relax and unwind and take walks. Highly recommended.

Bring books if you are in to them. And get up early 7 or even earlier, it’s a good time to sit outside.

  The stay have been amazing. Laiju is a great host. He keeps on ensuring our comfort, checks with us as well as the staff .
Hari and Sushma are great... read more human beings. I would want to visit the place only to be around those people. Felt like home.
Sushma Chechi cooks great food.
It was a perfect vacation for us. Thanks Laiju for maintaining the place as it is. The organic greens. The vegetable from the garden. Enjoyed every bit of it.
