My Journey in a Syntropic Garden

I’ve had the incredible opportunity to volunteer and help build a syntropic garden from scratch, and it has been such a rewarding experience!

The process started with planting seeds and young plants, getting my hands dirty in the soil, and feeling connected to the earth. Then watering the garden, carefully tending to the plants, and watching them grow day by day. Nature truly works its magic, and it’s amazing to see the little seeds transform into a thriving ecosystem.

The best part? Harvesting the fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs that we worked so hard to nurture. There’s something so special about picking homegrown produce and knowing it’s all thanks to the collective effort. Finally, I created a recipe from my country Greece. A delicious meal using local Aruban harvest, and I can’t describe the joy of enjoying a meal made entirely from the garden’s bounty.

This experience has taught me so much about sustainability, patience, and the beauty of growing food. I’m so grateful for the chance to be part of this journey and can’t wait to continue helping the garden grow and contribute in projects like this!
