01
The trip from the GAM is costing you plants, time and money
Each shipment means expensive transport, plants arriving stressed, and logistics that should be simple.
Basecamp at Tierramor's nursery (Vivero), Río Montaña, Nosara
The nursery
Plants grown in the climate they will live in
We propagate for our own eight hundred acres first. What we grow well at that scale, we supply to the people planting the rest of Guanacaste.
Who this is forThe real cost of getting this wrong
What buying plants in Guanacaste usually looks like

02
High mortality from stock that was never adapted to Guanacaste
Water stress, slow acclimation, and constant replacements nobody budgeted for.

03
Juggling separate suppliers for plants, soil inputs and transport
One nursery for the plants, another for compost, another for woodchip, a fourth for the freight - we solve it in a single order.
Why buy from our farm
We plant these ourselves
We plant everything we sell here first, under Río Montaña's own sun and rain, so a species that struggles never reaches the sale bench. Species selection built around your zone, soil and water table, bioinputs we make ourselves to help transplants establish, and a check-in after planting - buying from a working farm is a different thing than buying from a wholesaler that just moves stock.
What we supply
Natives, fruit, and ornamentals
Native trees, native ornamentals, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, cover crops, erosion-control species, and the bioinputs we make to feed them. Stock isn't grown to a fixed size - it comes at whatever size and age suits the job, from young starts for a hedge to more established trees for instant shade. Tell us the site and the timeline, we'll check our inventory and let you know what could work for you.

Who this is for
Supply, not retail
A house gets built and the garden has to go in. A community breaks ground and needs planting at volume. That is what this nursery is for.

Landscapers
You've felt the cost of specifying stock from the GAM: six hours of transport, plants that arrive stressed, and losses that eat into a margin nobody budgeted for. Everything here was grown on this hillside, through Guanacaste's own dry season, so what you plant has already proven it survives the client's actual sun and water. We also check in agronomically after installation, so a die-off gets caught early instead of argued about later.

Architects
Specifying at design stage is a technical decision, not a guess: zone, soil type, distance from the sea and water availability all change what actually holds. We can work through that with you before drawings are final, and give you a realistic sense of timeline for what you're specifying, so it doesn't become a surprise on the construction schedule.

Developers
A build moves in phases, and planting should too. We grow to order and stage delivery to match your construction schedule rather than shipping everything at once, so nothing sits on-site getting damaged through a phase, and nothing shows up before there's anywhere ready to put it.
How to order
Enquiry, quote, schedule
01
Tell us the project
Site, rough quantities, and when planting needs to happen. A species list if you have one; if not, we can help build it.
02
We quote and check stock
What is ready now, what needs growing on, and how long that takes.
03
We grow to your date
There's no fixed number to quote - a run of cover-crop starts moves faster than two hundred semi-mature natives. We give you a real timeline once we know what you need and by when, staged to match your build schedule rather than shipped all at once.
