Water conservation underpins everything we do on the grounds. We use mulches, drought-tolerant plant palettes, and soil-building techniques (vermicompost, organic matter) to increase moisture retention, and prioritize native species that require less irrigation. Rainwater capture and targeted drip irrigation in high-need areas reduce municipal water demand. These measures together lower operational costs and protect local […]
The restaurant menu at Botanix leans heavily on produce from our organic vegetable garden. This reduces food miles, guarantees fresher ingredients, and lets our chefs design seasonally-driven dishes that celebrate what’s growing that week. Practically, organic beds are fed with vermicompost, green manures and mulches; pest pressure is managed through crop rotation, companion planting and […]
Sustainability at Botanix includes climate responsibility. We measure on-site emissions from energy, transport and waste, then reduce where possible — energy-efficient lighting, onsite wastewater reuse, and optimised laundry systems — before offsetting remaining emissions through verified carbon programs. Forestry and agroforestry projects (which store CO₂ in biomass and soils) are common carbon offset mechanisms; internationally […]
Our dedicated bonsai garden is more than a display of living art — it’s a deliberate conservation and mindfulness space. Bonsai cultivation teaches patience, appreciation for native species, and the careful management of water and nutrients. By showcasing species trained as bonsai, we highlight the genetic and horticultural value of plants that might otherwise be […]
Our in-house nursery is where plants are born for the resort: native shade trees, exotic ornamentals, and the plant stock that keeps our landscaping low-impact and regenerative. Running a nursery lets us select climate-appropriate stock, reduce transport emissions, and avoid mass-market seedlings that come with high chemical inputs. We follow modern nursery principles — shaded […]
Vermicomposting — the process of converting organic waste into nutrient-rich castings with earthworms — is one of Botanix’s quiet sustainability heroes. Our kitchen and garden scraps are fed to vermibeds where red-wriggler worms convert them into dark, crumbly castings that boost soil structure, increase nutrient availability, and inoculate beds with beneficial microbes. That means healthier, […]
