.🌿 Sustainability Projects for Women & Families-
We recently partnered with Malachi Center, a non-profit organization supporting individuals and families facing socioeconomic, structural, and trauma-based barriers to success.
As part of this collaboration, we spent a month facilitating sustainability-focused workshops for women, offering hands-on sessions in natural cosmetics and plant-based dyes.
We also hosted family-friendly nature workshops for the center’s weekly Friday gatherings. In these sessions, we brought nature into the classroom, guiding children and parents in creating mandalas and weavings using local, natural materials.
This was a meaningful and fun month and we hope to continue working with this amazing organization.

Plant life cycle activity-
A great way to explain to kids about the plant life cycle and the importance of plants in our lives,is to do a workshop that includes seed planting, growing, harvesting and cooking for themselves.
As they explore the cycle, they will begin to recognize the link between themselves and other living things and appreciate all the benefits that plants give them.🌱

Have you heard about vertical gardening? When you use walls and roofs to benefit from small places to expand the scope of growing plants.
This is exactly what we did with the girls from the Arenal Foundation! We took old pallets, filled them with soil and planted strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes and spices on the roof!
That way, we used a space that is not usually in use.
You can implement vertical gardening using various upcycled materials: pallets, bottles, old tubes and more.
