Planting for the Future: Agroforestry in Action

Join us at Vale Ondula for an inspiring and hands-on day as we transform our existing orchard into a thriving agroforestry terrace! Together, we’ll expand the orchard with new trees, plant companion plants, and create nurturing “placentas” to help them thrive. This is a perfect opportunity to learn about agroforestry and permaculture practices while contributing to the regeneration of our land. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or curious beginner, there’s something for everyone to do, learn, and enjoy.

What’s the Plan?

We’ll spend the day getting our hands in the soil, working together to:

• Expand the existing orchard into a dynamic agroforestry terrace.

• Plant trees and companion plants in a way that mimics nature.

• Create “tree placentas” to give our new additions the best start in life.

We’ll balance the work with delicious food and community connection:

• Bring a dish to share for a potluck lunch.

• A hearty, delicious vegetarian dinner will be provided by us to end the day with joy and gratitude!

What to Bring:

• Sturdy shoes and clothes for working outdoors.

• Any tools you have handy (spades, shovels, etc.).

• A dish to share for the potluck lunch.

Schedule:

📅 Date: Thursday, February 15th

This day is all about learning, growing, and connecting—both with each other and with the land. You’ll leave with new knowledge, dirty hands, and a full heart (and belly!).

We can’t wait to plant the seeds of a more regenerative future with you.
