Useful Facebook Groups
Crime Watch Samara Costa Rica
This group is a Crime Watch group for Sámara locally. You will see crime reports, missing persons/animals, recent articles about crime in our area, etc. This is not a great group for you, if you get paranoid easily. But since the tourist facing groups delete most negative press, and crime reporting, it is a good group to help stay informed.

Gringo Gardeners in Costa Rica
This group is "for anyone living in or visiting Costa Rica who is interested in learning more about the trees, ornamental and flowering plants, vegetables and fruits that grow here, both native and introduced. It’s a place where we can showcase what we’ve grown, get tips on care and location, and help each other with plant identification, garden ideas and solutions. We would appreciate that all posts be in English.
Anyone who is interested in Costa Rican flora is welcome … novice gardeners, green thumbs, and folks who just like to know the names of the tropical plants they fall in love with here. Posts regarding garden insect ID and control are welcome as long as they are located in Costa Rica and accompanied by a member photo of either the insect or the plant damage done. We encourage the use of natural solutions for these issues as opposed to chemical ones unless absolutely necessary."
