  • We planted wetland plugs in this raingarden last fall, it’s incredible to see all the sweet flag, blue iris and swamp milkweed emerging from the water. This public garden has been considered a neighborhood eyesore due to drainage issues. We saw a problem and solved it. No, we didn’t ask 10 different city officials if it was “okay.” We just grabbed the plants and made it happen. When you see a problem in your life or community, remember the power of now. Don’t hesitate, trust your instinct. . . . #TheWildflowerProject #TWP #makeithappen #lesstalkmoreaction #guerillagardening #wetland #raingarden #wetlandrestoration #publicgarden #makechange #relentlessgardener #wildflowers #wildflowergarden #stormwatermanagement #pollinators #savethepollinators #pollinatorhabitat #pollinatorgarden #minnesota #saintpaul #minneapolis #twincities

  • Do you ever walk into a space and it immediately makes you feel at home? @gudvibespr is that type of place. Welcoming, warm, comfortable, authentic, trendsetting and soulful are all words that come to mind. Our lovely friend @kale_mama introduced us to the beautiful people running @gudvibespr. This is more than a restaurant, Gudvibes is a beacon of hope and resilience in the Aguadilla community. Born from the ruins of #hurricanemaria, they are proof of what can be possible when you believe in yourself and your people. Offering incredible from-scratch cooking, cold pressed juices, açaí bowls and a plethora of unique recipes, this is definitely a spot to prioritize when spending time on Puerto Rico’s west coast. Beyond that they offer yoga and meditation all within view of the community garden. They host local events and gatherings which means this place is always vibin’! If you need a place to stay, checkout their @airbnb apartments on the top floor! This summarizes my week of posting and highlighting our amazing friends in Puerto Rico. They have already taught me so much and I look forward to visiting them again next year.

  • Our lovely friend @kale_mama took us on a tour of the community garden that is located directly behind the amazing restaurant @gudvibespr. During our garden walk, we discussed the importance of community garden spaces. They are pivotal conduits for local adults and children to engage with the earth in a welcoming environment. A piece of the dream for this #communitygarden is to eventually grow enough food to supply much of the needs for @gudvibespr. The opportunity to walk directly behind the restaurant and grab herbs, fruits and vegetables is so unique and sustainable. Dive into our story today and learn more about this incredible effort to create a truly one of a kind space. While you are at it, go back and view all of our posts this week on Puerto Rico and their efforts to provide a healthier future for their people! #puertorico #farming #farm #communitygarden #communitygardening #gardeneducation #earthwork #organicfarm #organicrestaurant #farmtotable #freshproduce #organicproduce #puertorican #puertoricanfood #supportpuertorico #garden #gardening #vegetablegarden #sustainability #sustainablefarming

  • We would like to dedicate this day to our amazing friend @kale_mama! I’ve never been welcomed in by a stranger with this much warmth and generosity. We met Lauren through Instagram because we both have similar passions. We believe the best way to spread joy is by gardening and teaching. Her mission is to introduce the children of #puertorico to the amazing world of flowers, insects and fresh produce. By teaching kids how to better understand how the food they eat is brought to the table, she is establishing a lifelong appreciation for farming and the natural world. First you plant the seed, then you tend the garden. When blossoms arrive, tiny little insects called pollinators buzz around and create the food that we eat every day. @kale_mama was so excited for our visit and planned the perfect day. It was her who introduced us to @raul.semilla and the amazing farm @desde.mi.huerto! After a wonderful tour, she took us to her community garden located behind the incredible restaurant @gudvibespr. Thanks to her kind heart, we were able to experience so much of the rich culture Puerto Rico offers. Follow along in our story today and learn more about her mission and what is being done to support the children and pollinators of this beautiful island! #resilience #freedom #farming #organicfarm #organicfarming #puertorico #puertoricanfarmers #puertoricofood #fightcovid19 #coronavirus #strength #perserverance #startarevolution #woofing #woofers #foodindependence #puertorico🇵🇷 #puertorican #organicfarmer #organicseed #nongmo #seedsaving #seedfarm #seedstarting #communitygarden #gardeneducation

  • I love this video of @raul.semilla teaching us about the techniques used for seed harvesting. These processes take a lot of time and labor when done correctly but the results are all worth it. Seed produced by @desde.mi.huerto is some of the very best on the island! Check out the rest of our story tonight as we highlight the process of seed saving in Puerto Rico! #resilience #freedom #farming #organicfarm #organicfarming #puertorico #puertoricanfarmers #puertoricofood #fightcovid19 #coronavirus #strength #perserverance #startarevolution #woofing #woofers #foodindependence #puertorico🇵🇷 #puertorican #organicfarmer #organicseed #nongmo #seedsaving #seedfarm #seedstarting
