Gardening and Gardens in Cuenca

10 years ago

Hello all,

I am planning to relocate to Ecuador in 5 years (allowing of course for any changes that occur in that timeline). As of now, Cuenca looks most appealing, although I'm also considering areas up and down the Andes.

One of the major attractions of Ecuador for me is the amazing biodiversity of plant life. I'm a horticulturist by trade and although I'll be retired, I'll never want to stop gardening. I'll want to find to a spot to get my hands in the dirt.

Do any of you know how available are any of the following:
A. inexpensive rentals (apartments or small houses) with at the very least a patio or large balcony, better yet a small yard where some gardening would be allowed
B. community garden plots
C. botanical or public gardens that would accept volunteer gardeners (yes, I'm working on my Spanish!)

Thanks for any help you can give.
