Katryna’s Garden was born out of a Friends of the Earth activity in 2017 when Katryna and Tolga had generously offered a space in San Martin to host a group of volunteers that were learning how to create their pollinator-friendly gardens. Katryna has since then become the guardian of this garden, investing a lot of her love and energy in creating a beautiful and diverse haven. Through the past years, Katryna has learned all about permaculture, crop growing, companion planting, plant nutrition, composting, replenishing the soil, and how to create a very abundant garden patch using organic practices.

She would like to share all her knowledge with 5 volunteers that would visit her garden for 3 Saturdays and learn through hands-on experience what it means to be a crop grower.

We will work in the garden and also discuss concepts such as food sovereignty, how the food systems can be better designed, and how we can work with nature to produce food that has a positive impact.
