El huerto es un espacio de aprendizaje y práctica agroecológica donde trabajamos colectivamente la tierra, promoviendo el conocimiento sobre ciclos naturales, biodiversidad urbana y soberanía alimentaria. Es un lugar de experimentación, cuidado y trabajo compartido.
A través de siembra, mantenimiento, cosecha y actividades formativas, fomentamos una relación más consciente con los alimentos y con el territorio, fortaleciendo prácticas sostenibles y comunitarias en el contexto urbano.
Garden Day
The garden at Casa Gallina is a space for gathering and ongoing care, activated each week through the continuous volunteer work of neighborhood residents. The main objective is to explore urban agroecology through the exchange of knowledge around working with various seeds, their viability and use according to the season, composting, irrigation, association, pest management, soil nutrition, and other maintenance tasks. The activity does not require prior registration, only the commitment to attend every week from 10 am to 1 pm.
Garden Kitchen Workshop: tamales, corundas and papaya dessert
In order to take advantage of the seasonal harvest, the neighbor and member of the orchard, Rosa Palma, shared her recipe for yellow mole tamales. At the same time, the participants harvested fruits and herbs from the garden and used them to prepare fresh chaya water with lemon and a papaya mousse dessert.
During the event, the community had the opportunity to exchange recipes, socialize and enjoy the tamales made in the garden, taking home a sample of them.
Xerophilic Gardens Workshop
Xerophilic gardens recreate ecosystems characteristic of arid and rugged territories, capable of adapting to different climates as long as they have the right conditions and care. Considering fall weather conditions, Casa Gallina designed a hands-on workshop for participants to craft their own portable ecosystem.
During the sessions, we addressed the importance of cacti in our environment and as a result, each participant created a compact ecosystem that reflects the principles and characteristics of these gardens.
