ABOUT US
The Garden of Hope believes that access to nature and safe, healthy food is a human right. We are a community permaculture garden providing children and youth with a space to connect with nature, foster joy, and develop life skills.
Guatemala ranks sixth in chronic malnutrition in the whole world*. Addressing malnutrition through food sovereignty and nutrition programming is a key goal of the Garden of Hope.
We provide learning experiences in permaculture and nutrition, including how to:
-
grow organic food,
-
care for the soil,
-
respect the environment,
-
harvest,
-
cook creatively and nutritiously,
-
fertilize the soil naturally by composting,
-
value native plant species.
