When we bought the Los Charcos property, there was nothing here but cattle pasture and African Palm (as the photo shows). For the past 3 years, we have allowed nature to take its course, and have left the majority of the gardens in a state of natural succession, as part of the on-site restoration program. By now it has gone really wild, making it highly attractive to the local fauna, and many of the orginal plant species have made a come back after years of being hacked back to the ground.
