Let's Grow Together!
Help us plant fruit trees, herbs, nurture native plants, and keep stingless bees to transform our neighborhood into an edible oasis. Join in three ways:
1️⃣ Donate to Nativa‘s native plant initiative +/or Guanabo’s senior landscapers/handymen (tools/work gear needed!)
2️⃣ Volunteer – Plant maintenance, tree planting days or help tidy public spaces
3️⃣ Join a Nursery Tour – Visit hidden nurseries, taste tropical fruits like guava, see how guava paste is made, drink fresh sugarcane juice, have a farm-to-table lunch. Buy a useful tree or plant (or two or three), and then let’s find them a good home in our community.
Every contribution grows resilience – from donated gloves, or a machete to a planted native pollinator tree. Ask us for useful donation ideas and let’s dig in!
