My permagarden

I decided to do a permagarden at my host family house. I asked permission to my host family to use some space in her garden and she was glad to let me do it. Sabrian,Colin and Lis helped me to do it along with the training facilitator Paula and Lucio. In two hours or so, we made this great machamba and planted tomatoes, onions, sweet potatoes, pineapples trees,  a lychee tree and some peanuts as well.

I initiated this project because I want to gain more experience on permagarden because I intend to do my own at my site. I thought it would be a good idea to re do one while I am in training and have the facilitator around if I have any questions. So yes! It was a success. I also taught my host family what was the system of permagardening. Unfortunately I would be present to see the results of my garden but at least I was able to practice how to do it again. I think it is so funny that I am doing a permagarden. I would have never thought I would get interested in gardening to be honest. Oh well there is a first time for everything J
