Donation of Fencing Materials to the Matos Vargas Family Garden

December 18, 2013

 

On Wednesday December 18, 2013, we donated material to Mr. Nicolás Matos Vargas and Mr. Leoncio Vargas in the community of Barreras de Azua.

The donation to this family consisted of a 250-meter barbed wire fence and small nails to assemble it around the family garden.

Nicolás and Leoncio are cousins and are getting their children, nephews and nieces involved in the cleanup work as well as breaking up the soil, removal of stumps and logs, building the fence and, finally, planting the garden.

Nicolás and Leoncio’s vegetable garden includes the planting of peppers, melon and patilla.

Welcome Matos Vargas Family to the EcoHuertos Program! 

Since its inception the program has created a total of 26 vegetable gardens across the country in the provinces of Santo Domingo, Santiago, San Cristobal, Baní, Monte Plata, and Azua.
