💫 Hey @kate-m 🌿 Thank you for sharing your backyard wisdom. A friend of mine did ethnobotanical research in 20 home gardens in 4 villages in Calakmul (Campeche, Mexico) - you can find her work here: https://zidapps.boku.ac.at/abstracts/oe_list.php?paID=3&paSID=7377&paSF=-1&paCF=0&paLIST=0&language_id=DE

This is in German though, but maybe she has a translation. I may ask her if you are interested 🦋

I myself did permaculture for a year - I mean preparing a land for permaculture - in India and learnt so many things from nature. It is truly a grounding and heart opening work to do.

Thanks for your very informative and warmly post.
