In 2002, we began collaborating with Maya communities to provide an alternative to international aid programs after the highly destructive civil war in Guatemala. We started by planting native and medicinal plants, and helped bring back many highly nutritious Maya food crops and medicines like amaranth, native corns, beans, and vegetables such as Chipilin and Macuy (Hierba Mora). The sustainable f

ood and seed production we reintroduced has helped Maya families break thiri dependency on western aid projects and government handouts and has reduced seasonal work migration to large plantations and urban factories. We helped farmers and families in the villages around Rabinal organize their own association: Qachuu Aloom β€œMadre Tierra” β€” The Mother Earth Association. In order to continue our work we needed the help and financial support of the public, so we founded the Garden’s Edge in 2007. Thanks to our generous supporters, we have been able to keep working in Guatemala, and to expand into other communities, including New Mexico.

Desde el 2023, a travΓ©s de terapias como la acupuntura, la fisioterapia, el masaje relajante y el uso de plantas medicinales, buscamos brindar alternativas accesibles y efectivas para el cuidado de la salud mental, fΓ­sica y espiritual. Estas prΓ‘cticas no solo ayudan a aliviar dolores y reducir el estrΓ©s, sino que tambiΓ©n abren espacios para la sanaciΓ³n emocional y la reconexiΓ³n con uno mismo y con lo que nos rodea.

🌱Family gardens. Qachuu Aloom Association is comprised of 500 family farmers. There are hundreds of small family plots just like this that members plant and care for in many villages around Rabinal. We call them gardens of β€œtriple propΓ³sito” they have 3 main functions- food for the family, some excess to sell, and some plants left for seed so that the garden can continue year after year🌱🌱

Aurelia is harvesting tomatoes, cilantro, onion πŸ§…, colish and radish 🫜 from her amazing garden, implemented with the help of the AsociaciΓ³n Campesina 13 de marzo and Garden’s Edge. This garden is also filled with many medicinal plants that Aurelia uses to make medicines for her community. Her garden is tended with such love, care and gratitude and that energy is transmitted to the medicines she makes.
