👋 Hi everyone,
I’ve written a book that you can find in the reception of el Zopilote Permaculture Farm / Hostel, or in our Farm Shop called The Bus Shop or here 👉 https://a.co/d/2lHMgAc
📖 Tropical Permaculture Plants:Illustrated Guide to Useful, Edible, Medicinal, and Sacred Species.
🌱 It’s not only for tropical gardens! Many people are surprised to discover how many tropical plants they already have at home 🏡🌿.
The book covers 149 plants:
🥗 43 edible (the ones we eat every day at El Zopilote Permaculture Farm Hostel 👉 www.ometepezopilote.net)
🌿 90 medicinal
🙏 16 sacred
With this book you can recognize and harvest edible plants, explore valuable medicinal information, and connect with the spiritual side of plants 🌍✨.
🍃 Each plant has a clear one-page profile with identification, uses, growing conditions, and how to place it in a resilient system.
💧 Practical notes on guilds, mulch, water management, and safe harvesting.
📷 Field photos and observations from El Zopilote (Ometepe, Nicaragua) and Bahia (Brazil) bring the pages to life.
Whether you’re starting a food forest 🌳, upgrading your garden 🪴, or traveling with a curious eye ✈️, this guide helps you avoid common mistakes and design for abundance.
🍄 With a small special section on fungi.
🙏 Thank you so much! This book is the result of a lot of work, I hope you enjoy it 💚.
