A fruit garden was created in May 2019 at Puliyarakonam, Thiruvananthapuram, following the Miyawaki method of afforestation. The garden was created using fast-growing, fruit-bearing plant saplings by employing techniques like dense planting, mixed planting, preparation of the seedbed using the potting mixture, and mulching, as recommended by Professor (Dr) Akira Miyawaki for afforestation.
Plant varieties like Gooseberry (Nelli), Guava (Pera), pomegranate (Maathalam), Jaamba, Mango (Maavu), Jackfruit (Plavu), Indian coffee plum (Lubika), Star Gooseberry (Arinelli), Coconut (Thengu) and Ceylon olive (Kaara) were planted here.
