The garden, exhaling spicy exquisite aromas, still exists, it is a private property, the owners of which have restored the estate in the center of the site and invite tourists on a tour. The estate has a small restaurant of Creole cuisine, a souvenir shop, a small museum of the life of the Seychelles planters of the XIX century. Each visitor to the garden is entitled to a small gift - a seedling of one of the plants: avocado, patchouli, ginger, clove, pepper, nutmeg or vanilla.
