The Next Planting
Money goes to the remaining build out of the garden, development of the hillside, new cactus, and ongoing care of what is already planted.
The Taray Preservation Garden
Garden Progress
What is growing on the hillside at Taray, and what the next planting needs.
Taking Root the garden now
The cuttings planted the year before have taken root and begun to grow.
Several hundred Huachuma of many varieties are in the ground, and more go in as the terraces fill. Miguel Mendiburu tends what is planted there.
Every cutting that takes root here is one more Huachuma growing where it is needed.
