A garden area of a quarter acre is devoted to Seed Conservation. It was created by an intensive process of soil building, using select pioneer species to create biomass in-situ in raised beds, and today supports a plant collection of more than 100 endangered traditional vegetable varieties from all over India - root crops, herbs, perennial and wild food crops, medicinal plants and flowers. These varieties are ideal for home use and home gardens. ‘A Garden for Everyone’ is an outreach initiative to share these hardy plant varieties, which have performed well on this wasteland, with home gardeners and subsistence farmers throughout India. They are shared within known organic farmers’ collectives via organic fairs, seed melas and through personal contacts and references. A place of continuous learning, Pebble Garden also has a charcoal/wood vinegar production plant, and conducts research on in terra preta.

Priceless place. They have visiting day once a week where they take you on a journey of how they dedicated their lives to convert the barren land into forest. Schedule can be found at Auroville visitors center

Wonderful forest like environment. Great efforts by the couple who worked relentlessly to make this once barren land into this wonderful green space. One can be only in awe looking at this place. Definitely if we can do even 5% of what these cols did, this planet will be happy for ever.

This place is a global example of what can be achieved from degrigation. Burnard and Deepika are truly amazing people. I recommend booking a visit to pebble garden Forest.
