(ITALIANO in basso) Greetings from the Italian Apennines! Thanks to your support and to the amazing help of friends and volunteers we have planted more than 60 endemic varieties of Cherry, Pear, Apple, Plum, Apricot and Loquat, as well as more than 100 supporting plants like, Golden-chain, Judas Tree, Broom, Elderberry and Willow! We are now feeding the space between each tree with woodchip, sawdust and tree-bark (taken from the fire-wood) soaked in a 2 months old potion made of rainwater and all the mushroom varieties found in the surrounding oak and chestnut forest. Oh! and topped with almost 2 years old Kombucha 😃 Next we are going to plant tens of Sage, Rosemary, Mint and other herbs. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay tuned with the progress! Sending you gratitude, love and infinite joy! ~~~ ITALIANO ~~~ Saluti dall'Appennino italiano! Grazie al tuo supporto e al fantastico aiuto di amici e volontari abbiamo piantato più di 60 varietà endemiche di Ciliegio, Pero, Melo, Susino, Albicocco e Nespolo, oltre a più di 100 piante di supporto come Maggiociondolo, Albero di Giuda , Ginestra, Sambuco e Salice! Ora stiamo arricchendo lo spazio tra ogni albero con trucciolo, segatura e corteccia d'albero (residuo della legna da ardere) immersi in una pozione di 2 mesi fatta di acqua piovana e tutte le varietà di funghi che si trovano nella circostante foresta di querce e castagni. Oh! e con un topping di Kambucha vecchia quasi 2 anni 😃 Nelle prossime settimane pianteremo decine di piantine di Salvia, Rosmarino, Menta e altre erbe. Continua a seguirci per rimanere aggiornato sui progressi! Ti mandiamo gratitudine, amore e gioia infinita! #gratitude #foodforest #forestgarden #permaculture #syntropicagriculture #agroforestry #permacultura #italiachecambia #endemicspecies #specieautoctone #vivaioscodogna #Varsi #Parma #regenerativeagriculture

Time flows fast, doesn't it? ...or maybe not... Sun shines, snow falls, rain gathers in the swales 😉 and the trees grow their roots in their new, special home. At this stage, we were filling the swales with rotting wood collected from the side of the road (more details in the video), promoting the growth of mycelium in the soil. Meanwhile sawing and chopping the fire wood to keep ourselves warm during the harsh cold days. But what a joy! Rain, snow, or shine, Nature never fails showing off her majestic attire 😍 What a gift life is! #gratitude overflow 🙏 #swales #forestgardening #foodforest #volunteers #waterharvesting #natureconnection #oldwood #waterretention #ancientvarieties #endemic #communitybuilding #naturephotography #nature #rottingwood #mycelium #myceliumrunning #soil #soilhealth

🍄🍄🍄 Craterellus cornucopioides Eng: Horn of Plenty / Black Trumpet Fr: Trompette de la Mort One of our favorite wild edible #mushrooms from our area. We sautéed it with garlic, made risotto, Currys and dehydrated two big jars of them. And what about the last picture?? - That's the best use of it! ❤️A big tank of rainwater full of all kind of mushrooms from the surrounding #forest. When the snow will melt it will be time to spread this cold infusion in between all the trees of our newly planted Food Forest here in #varsi #agroforestry technique learnt from Miguel Humblet at Gravito Healing Retreat Centre, Portugal This will stimulate mycelium growth, enriching the soil, giving it an 'intelligence boost', an added set of nervous connections that will enable the trees to communicate and exchange #nutrients through it. This is but a tiny tiny intro to the super powers of these wonderful beings 🍄 which generally have been so undervalued in today's society. But #permaculturists, natural farmers and forest guardians around the world know their incomparable value and need in any land ecosystem on #Earth #wildedibles #wildmushrooms #forestmushrooms #blacktrumpet #hornofplenty #roccadivarsi #mushroomtea #composttea #myceliumrunning #ediblemushrooms #permaculture #forestguardians #healtheearth #foodforest #regenerativeagriculture #naturalfarming

3 days, 3 people, more than 60 fruit trees planted, loads of rainwater harvested and seeping through into the landscape, new friendships, so much connection, Earth guidance, endless gratitude! There's nothing else to do at this moment but planting trees, restoring ecosystems and guaranteeing full protection for existing/remaining forests, wetlands, rivers and oceans. Do you get that? Move on up and do your best! no less than your best. #foodforest #forestgardening #swales #waterharvesting #water #trust #human #doyourbest #permaculture #earthweareone #gratitude #treeplanting #reforestation #ecosystemrestoration #plantatree #thetreeandthewater

Miracles happen everyday when opening fully to the possibilities of this wondrous experience of life. Swales keep on harvesting rainwater, groundcover plants keep on enriching and fixing the soil, we keep on working. The tree planting time has started. All endemic varieties of apples, pears, plums, cherries, apricots and figs. Supported by nitrogen fixers and dynamic accumulators like elderberry, broom box, coronilla, golden chain, judas tree, willow etc. Endless gratitude to all the supporters, donors, friends, volunteers, mentors and partners that make all of this possible. Whether or not human kind will survive all of the crisis we cause to ourselves, I know we are doing the right thing, we are doing our best, we are caring for our Mother Earth. We are all in it together. #permaculture #foodforest #forestgardening #italiachecambia #permacultureproject #permacultura #swales #rainwaterharvesting #treeplanting #earthguardians #healingtheearth #natureconservation #reforestation #regenerativeagriculture #naturalfarming #reforestationproject #weareone #interbeing #thetreeandthewater #themorebeautifulworldourheartsknowispossible
