About the nursery

Vivero Karū-lemu - plantas nativas y exóticas

My name is Nelson Cariman, and I've spent more than 25 years devoted to the world of plants and gardens. It all began in 1998, when I decided to take a big step: turning my passion and experience as a gardener into a project of my own. Through an international exchange between U.C. Sede Villarrica and the Basque NGO SETEM Vasca, I traveled to the Basque Country, Spain, to train in greenhouse growing techniques. When I returned, I shared what I'd learned with our Mapuche community and with neighboring communities, because we believe knowledge grows when it's shared. This nursery is the result of that journey. Here you'll find plants grown with care, experience, and respect for the land.
