Last March 28th, Mexiconservación joined forces with Hojas Verdes, Organicamente and Tulum’s Casa de la Cultura in organizing the first Organic Garden Workshop in Tulum, which was led by Sheila Collado, a permaculture specialist. The event explored the principles of Permaculture, Composting, Biofertilizers, Pest Control and Organic Seeds, along with the design of instant urban gardens.
Participants included individuals working on environmental, ecotourism and social issues in both Tulum and Playa del Carmen. For us it was a great experience and the beginning of future efforts to benefit both the community and the environment.
From this workshop we have developed a proposal to establish a Permaculture Education Unit at the Casa de Cultura, and we would like to invite you to join the group of volunteers that will run it. To get involved, contact Paola.
