Company description
La Vega is much more than a business venture to owner, Bertram Manhin, whose lifelong love affair with plants and nature led him to acquire the estate in 1983. An avid plant collector, Manhin established a nursery to stock the plant material he gathered from both local sources and his travels around the world.
With all this growing and blossoming, a garden centre was set up in San Fernando in 1986. This outlet carries the full range of plants grown at the estate and a great assortment of gardening supplies. As time went by, curious visitors and customers began visiting the estate even though it was not yet open to the public. In 1988, a structure was built to house a garden centre and accommodate visitors; it has expanded to more than 4 times its original size.
Manhin’s enthusiasm for
Also a great lover of fruit, Manhin has successfully introduced and cultivated an impressive collection of rare and exotic fruit in Trinidad. Among his favourites are rambutan from Malaysia, jumbo dongs and sweet carambola from Taiwan, abiu and giant peewah from Brazil and Costa Rica. Today, Manhin’s passion continues unabated as he searches daily for “special treasures” to add to his orchards. Recent additions that he is looking forward to are luscious varieties of mangoes, durian, sweet passion fruit, longan and sugar apples.
