Buena Fortuna

We welcome support of Buena Fortuna Botanical Garden in Baja Mexico, preserving 3700 plant species of the tropical and dry tropical regions of the world, & Siempre Semillas AC, a Mexican NGO whose main focus is to preserve seed diversity. Bioneer’s presenter Gabriel Howearth, botanist, landscape architect and “seedsman” is the founder of Buena Fortuna Botanical Garden in Baja, Mexico, and the president of Siempre Semillas. Gabriel has traveled around the world working with many indigenous people to develop and increase diversity in organic farming and gardening, and has 30 years’ experience teaching and practicing permaculture, seed saving, and biodynamic and organic agriculture.

These organizations maintain a virtual seed bank collection, a living genealogy of plants containing many rare, endangered and exotic species of forgotten and little known food sources of great nutritional, cultural and genetic value . Currently they are working with several ecological organizations in Central and South America and have been available to travel worldwide to teach about organic seeds and ways to preserve our genetic seed purity locally in order to contribute to global change in positive ways.

Recent consultations include:

1. Professional Consultation for “Dreaming New Mexico” towards a food & energy self-sustainable State by the year 2020; an ambitious and well supported project, initiative of Bioneers with the participation of a number of NGO’s, Farmers, Indigenous Groups, Schools as well as Governmental support.

2. Professional consultation in Southern Oregon helping organize local seedsman and farmers work towards helping its people in the bioregion become seed and food self-sufficient – beyond sustainable.

3. In the early stages of developing a Polycultural- Permacultural Landscape Design for state of the art Ola Brisa Eco Community in Todos Santos, on the Pacific Coast side of Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Some of their previous works include research with Sonic Bloom sound frequencies and music and pyramid enhancement for seeds and plants with documented success written in very popular books: “Secrets of the Soil” and “The secret Life of Plants” by two famous authors/researchers Peter Tompkins and Christopher Byrd. The results of this research show how certain frequencies and music really work to greatly enhance plant growth production, yield, nutrition, flavor, quality and germination power of seeds especially enhanced by the combination of the use of Mayan pyramid seed enhancers.
