Discover the Untold Stories of Sri Lanka’s People: A Journey Through Culture, Resilience, and Hidden Strengths
A vegetable garden at Jetwing St Andrews in Sri Lanka
Jetwing hotels pride themselves on their excellent Sri Lankan hospitality, a legacy of their founder Herbert Cooray. He was also a pioneer of conservation, one of the first to recognise the growing importance of this aspect of tourism. I experienced both qualities here. A highlight of my visit was a tour of the hotel’s vegetable garden – the hotels main source of vegetables. Gowry, the Hospitality manager, was my delightful companion. She led me through the beautiful formal gardens to a large vegetable garden. We wandered between regimented rows of cabbages, crushed leaves of herbs to enjoy the aromas and watched used water surging through the re-cycling tanks. It felt good to know I was staying in a conservation conscious hotel.
