This project was an approach for Latin American children to reconnect with ancestral uses of MAS plants (medicinal, aromatic, and seasoning), through communication with older family members such as grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and even family friends.
By planting some of these, kids were able to share cultural uses of the same plants even though they found some differences, all of them identified these plants as natural resources which help us with common aches and pains, and even more, they enriched their consciousness about the way nature provides us the basis for health and the relations that ancestral knowledge has with that.
