The purpose of this group is to bring together people who have a passion for gardening.

A common place where we can share information and ask questions on all aspects of gardening.

We welcome posts on permaculture, sustainability, aquaponics, hydroponics, composting, chickens, new plants / trees, growing methods and any other topic of interest.

Do you have an interest in seed swapping?

Perhaps you make and sell gardening related products?

Let us know.

  • Who is growing echinacea (purple coneflower)? Flowers (not seed head), leaves, stems, and roots can make a tisane that has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples to help prevent and combat infections, to include viral.... I would like some seeds if anyone can share, and we should perhaps all be starting our "victory gardens" to share with others. I started mine yesterday (however, I'm no gardener---so no promises, just hopes!)
  • is there anywhere I can buy a start for artichokes between here and David?

    I seek to grow a globe type artichoke, i just moved up to Alto Lino and already began a garden outside in my yard.

  • Monsanto wants to being GMO's to Panama
    If Russia, France and many other countries can say NO to GMO's, why can't Panama? This is the time to say NO.

  • thanks Susan/Pat.

    Our (future) chickens will have plenty of space to roam and scratch. Just waiting to get their coop/roost/run built.

  • Are there different breeds available? Or just "chickens"
    I'm looking for a heavier, meat chicken. All my neighbors' chickens are big and fluffy looking until they are plucked. Then they are scrawny! And tough! Even in sancocho.
  • I get my chickens by the bus depot in David.  Straight across from the main terminal you can get a nice selection.  They cost around .70 cents.

    They will need a good cage so predators can't' get into it.  They require alot of water and food.  Temp. needs to be around 95% for first week and then you can drop it 5% per week.  

    I love getting fresh farm eggs and having fresh chicken.

  • Will do. Thanks!
  • Once we are permanently established in the Boquete area I would like to have a few chickens for fresh eggs in the morning :) Are there things I need to start thinking about before I actually get them. For several years I had chickens roaming around our hobby farm, and I really miss those dark yellow, organic eggs. What are the basic chicken raising rules in Panama?
