What we do

El Jardín nace como iniciativa luego de haber realizado la Primera Caravana de la Permacultura en Venezuela (Mayo de 2011) junto a la Ecoescuela El Manzano de Chile, recorriendo 14 estados del país y realizando talleres y conversatorios en 4 ciudades, de las cuales una de las paradas se realizó en La Azulita, quedando enamorados de las montañas azules, su biodiversidad y el calor de su gente. El Jardín es una organización cuya misión es aumentar la participación efectiva de comunidades conscientes en la construcción de hábitats sustentables, bioconstrucción, conservación del agua, energías renovables, producción agroecológica de alimentos y la organización social participativa.
Ofrecemos espacios de formación para adquirir habilidades en ámbitos tan importantes como la producción de alimentos, restauración de suelos, el almacenamiento y procesamiento de alimentos, construcción de espacios con materiales alternativos y una variedad de trabajos manuales para mejorar las capacidades de autosuficiencia y la cooperación en la era post-petrolera. Desarrollar estas habilidades es una ventaja inmensa para resolver dificultades que enfrentan hoy muchos adultos y jóvenes ante la crisis que vive Venezuela.

Autumn PDC 2017 Greece, Tinos Island

Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e
