Bio

Farrokh Ashtiani, wants to be known as a gardener for life and then after, nothing more. He believes that our highest achievements in life will be dwarfed by shadows of those trees that we have planted.

He is inviting all Iranians to join him to build a Persian Paradise Garden together in California. "Our souls will need a place to return for visits. Give your soul a permanent address to come back to" Says Farrokh.
