The Tiny Tienda

So much work goes into a nice building from beginning to end! 

It is now getting well stocked with natural products, art and plants. 

There will be a post in the Baja Western Onion soon with hours of operation 

and a list of items carried. A labor of love, so hope you will all come by!!

January Plant Sale!!

Plant Sale!! 
January 25 and 26. All Day!! 
Come see the new building, 
now completed....you might want to consign your wholesome 'product' there. Please give me suggestions as to what you would like to see in a garden shop in Baja Sur. I want to make Organic Gardening easier for you.

Feburary is an excellent time to transplant trees in Baja.
I have 1 and 2 year old endemic trees and plants, succulents, agaves..... 
Neem, Iron Wood, Strangler Fig, Palo d'arco, Caoba, Tibachin (Flame Tree), Cassia, Surinam Cherry and more.

There are bags of goat manure, and compost, big and small bags. 
Great for starting a compost pile or mixing with your native soil when you plant your new tree.

It can clarify  personal visions for your land use and help set priorities for beginning your dream here in Baja.

Composting Workshop - November 8th

November 8th - 10am to 1:30pm

Las Tunas, Todos Santos

COMPOSTING WORKSHOP

A great conditioner of soil is compost and it is easy to make at home. If you make a new compost pile right by your favorite tree it will increase its energy and nutrition. When a compost pile is done right it takes about two months. You can use the compost throughout your garden and see the growth spurt in the tree from the manure and the "compost tea" generated in the process.
