This place was recommended to us by our driver. The tourguide and the atmosphere were not bad, but we were overwhelmed with the products for selling. On the one hand, they said that the products are made of natural materials (this is not true, by the way), and on the other hand, they are grossly overpriced. Unfortunately, it was our fault too, we believed them. Don't walk like us! e.g. We bought a "natural cream", which is actually a smooth hair removal cream! Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2
The tour in the garden is nice and also that the price is only on donation. However, all the oils and lotions they promote are not at all locally produced. I found my cough sirup I bought in the pharmacy the day before and they promoted it as locally produced.. Products are completely overpriced and not local.
SCAM!! You go there and they start talking about the herbs and the Ayurvedic medicines etc. You think “oh what an amazing experience” Then they make you choose the products that you want to buy and they take you to the shop where you barely see the prices. They keep talking and quickly showing the price tag if you want to see it. At the end, you end up paying more than 200€ for fake products. Luckily we read the reviews here on the way to our hotel and immediately went back to take our money back. And do not trust your tuktuk driver on this because apparently they get commission if they bring tourist to this place
WARNING! This is a huge SCAM! The products are just repackaged materials and contains chemicals that were said to be natural. Indeed, they use toxic substances for them. At least the tour was interesting. Price per person Rs 5,000+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
Total scam. Products are not natural at all, just random chemical stuff you find at the market for 10 percent of the price. Price per person Rs 5,000+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

No farm, selling you 10x unpriced items...fake Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Agree with all who say that it's a scam. This bloke who was spinning a yarn about spices, had the gall to tell me that it's a government outlet. Didn't buy anything, fortunately! Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Nice and clam place situated near Kandy to Jaffna A9 road. There are lot of herbal medicines and plants. A good knowledge can be obtained about traditional Sri Lankan herbal medicine, herbal plans and the preparation of Ayurvedic medicine. I highly prefer Red oil and Balm which can be used for back pains and joint pains. My mother had a severe back pain and she got healed by applying red oil and balm with in two days. They also have a nice restaurant specially for foreigners and they provide lunch with traditional Sri Lankan dishes.
The spice garden is small, in less than 10 minutes they show you some plants and they say how they extract creams or tablets and how they can help you. Massage was made by some “students” for free, it was good... We left a donation. In the shop they will let you buy as much as they want. Prices are expensive! PAY ATTENTION, I GOT A DEBIT ON MY CARD OF 357€ just for few things... see pictures...
