Red Armonia

We recently have been forming a very exciting relationship with an app developer that is perfectly aligned with our goals and ambitions. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge in programming and coding, and a heart of humanitarian gold wanting to align with a project that is looking to help create community sovereignty, this is exactly what we are all about. Development has already commenced and the future is looking bright. Stay tuned for future announcements and an app launch in 2022! All donations are appreciated to help further progress our community building, our community outreach for our needs assessment program and the development of our app.

Building of the Digital App

Once the dry curing of the bamboo was completed about 4 weeks later we began the build! Once again we were able to rally the community to come together for this build. We were humbled by the level of cooperation and selfless contribution for this hard work. We enjoyed every minute of it. From hauling heavy 12 meter canes of bamboo, to digging post holes, erecting the frame, to putting on the roof and finally covering it with uv rated plastic, over the course of only 6 days we got it done! Our vision of a community hub is coming together.<img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUGC2G3Z6JkyWJLmy5t654bCMLQzNGLimpP55icUCuChV"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmYnUMX522VMXYor5gRZ8zRf1SnQLhYnCzx24rJc25GSAg"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSKHx5giQYve2N16m1zHziMfTmVEw6eLqwMtfejmw5YiD"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWZpWStB5kYip3D7CuxtoPz91zidCvzJxcrojp95tVe15"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmRMgn7dtpPZvLygtAo7qZbF44gMvHr1q9V8MEzRmkXJGd">

Phase 2 Ascension Gardens Greenhouse: The Build

In May of this year, we were able to assemble an awesome team of guys together to harvest high-quality bamboo to be used to build our first sustainable greenhouse, which is to serve as the community garden hub of Red Armonía, located at Casa Ascensión in Platanillo de Barú, Costa Rica. The intention of the greenhouse is to be a mother hub garden that houses organic, nutritional and medicinal seedlings and mother plants, and a weatherproof seedbank, to ensure the security of plant strain varieties and the ability to distribute to other community gardens a part of the project network. Over the course of two weeks, we harvested, treated, transported, and power-washed the bamboo. Afterwards, we allowed it to sit for a few weeks off the ground and covered from the rain in order to dry cure it in preparation for the build.<img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmPcYobst6JqBowXgKrGzLYwzs42VrmaHXmcqr1y9SDkik"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUHrRfKDMAPdnvXwtzrXUZaaRLW93b6KzXfZyfKDhzhQg"> <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmXdTLWe2CF8rXxbvpufLC8tBqu315Vsb5ao4ahRfPtHx4"> <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQDHKmm8nT2rG9sAxVwtFudoHb34nwCR3htKbT2p1zkkR">

Phase 1 Ascension Gardens Greenhouse Build Begins

Things are flowing and we’re expanding! We recently acquired a new greenhouse space located in the stunning and beautiful rainforest region of the Diamond Valley in Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica. It is a large 20m x 10m greenhouse that has never been used. We secured an agreement to rent it from the owners and they are in full support of us using it to expand our community gardens project and get fresh, organic produce to those in need. They have been very helpful by installing a water line for us, and providing us with resources such as a 100 gallon barrel of molasses, sacks of rice husk, semolina, charcoal and soil. The greenhouse was built but never used, and so we saw the opportunity and jumped on it right away. We wasted no time to clean up the space and get it ready for the next steps!<img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmV4haozLnxHpcQPLNhiymXbwzsVxrygwRVTb2bS7TAB6y"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSvgBqncCy4tpyx5AV1WdEVCg2MWQetELBo1QGatfHn3q"> <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSQqiXf8DSS9WiLPrXZM4MTxXG7Amv5M4hgK6zUHHobGc">

Diamante Gardens - New Greenhouse Space!

There's nothing better than being able to upcycle could-be waste and put it to good use. After the cleanup, we came back the next day to utilize all of the raw material and turn it into an organic compost. It is now under a cover fermenting inside the space and will be ready to use very soon! We mixed: Raw grass, leaves, sticks and vines, calcium, rice husk, semolina and molasses. <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQkRYWtrr1QF1yaayJniR1vrjrAHHcgnrFu25vcTnpE2x"> <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmbKFCf1tA6avNaB7fvyEz756MSyqMoZugotMXsJhc7BZB"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmTuw7TzV7FaTPCJJzBwQjpQGb5CVRomJbsxTbTwWjXHZS"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/Qmf7bhMsSwQXjWqtsCEJCaaZPLd2A4ZqgsLkucr6rmmacp">

Diamante Gardens Greenhouse - Composting

Thanks to everyone who came out this morning for our community discussion for design and planting! We discussed everything from circulation and sun shading within the greenhouse, planting beds and vertical growing, aquaponics, vermiculture worm farming, some fundamentals of the organizational structure around the operation and creating sustainable food security and more!&nbsp; Very excited to move forward. The next step will be getting a few people together very soon to put a layer of green saran on the roof in order to increase shading for more efficiency and to ensure airflow and circulation of the entire structure, currently what’s there isn’t efficient and it needs a slight improvement. Will announce soon when that day will be. Once that is completed, the next step will be setting up the worm farm (should be fairly simple) and beginning to build out the beds!🙏🏼❤️🌱<img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQJRjALMfEjuuVreSUYxakzZ3W3cAMERT3qSGxoEakGhR"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQKnQuBBuf9tTcadnCz7Gokjp4iDLBu65Wi76RhLhSXyA"><img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmYupsjFuWHGvJwyy8eWxUdq5ZsjcPdAbj78XNLCXekndi">
