Todo se siembra
Everything can be seeded

As part of our series Thinking with a garden, between 31st of October and 3d of November we will host Jaime Otero Páramo, a founder of Proyecto Dispersor in Galicia, where he has been designing and cultivating forest gardens and spreading knowledge about regenerative agroforestry since 2017.

Proyecto Dispersor is a social project, inspired by and allied with the seeds, based on the philosophy of the common good, the search for harmony and abundance. It aims to investigate, learn, integrate, practice and transmit agronomic knowledge and agroecological practices in relation with others. The project understands itself as part of a global regenerative movement, advocated by agroecology, permaculture and successional agriculture.

During his residency at Foresta Jaime will offer a workshop and a public talk. More details follow below.

Workshop

Everything can be seeded, absolutely everything! So what are seeds? What is a forest? How can a forest be a regenerative food system? What is an agroforestry nest? This workshop unfurls within the ethics of attentive multispecies conviviality and will cover the basics of envisioning, designing, seeding and planting a forest garden, in philosophical and practical terms. It will touch on such subjects as preparing the soil, as well as democracy of natural energy and ecosystem dynamics, neoindigenism and the human role within the ecosystem, and others. For more info you can read about our visit to the home base of Proyecto Dispersor and generally our research into forest gardens here and watch or listen to the video podcast episode with Jaime here.
