David and Lin Gillingham arrived in Bocas in 1998 after years of traveling around the world in search of the perfect place to settle. They purchased the 20 acre property which was then a thick, green wall of jungle covering the rolling hills and gullies. First they hacked a pathway in by machete and within six months they built their hilltop house. This was finally home!
Lin, has worked hard to fulfill her dream of creating a tropical garden. Whilst clearing the land, she made forays into the rainforests and mountains where she discovered and collected more plants, as well as purchasing from nurseries on the mainland. Over the years she has created a magnificent garden with large collections of heliconias, gingers, palms, flowering trees, fruits, spices and ornamentals.
