Kokopelmana Kitzia hasn't added a story.
This grant will be used to expand our nursery area and to propagate at Kokopelmana Seed Sanctuary / Herbal School: Matico & Blood leaf/ Escancel plants to then, be shared with the local schools and community gardens.
We will be also generating a two page, bilingual information guide of each plant that will include: Origen, propagation, folckloric uses, cientific research and illustrations.
Our goal is to propagate 500 plants of each. And share them for free with: local schools, community gardens and general public via Kokopelmana Open Hearts Fair on summer solstice June 21rst.
