Cultural Xpression February 2018 Edition

As Spaceless Garden comes close to ending its volunteer program over the past 3 months, it has been quite a journey for everyone getting the farm all cleaned up and ready for more cultivation… Wyatte along with volunteers have made tremendous progress over the past few weeks and are in full gear to move forward.

From getting a visit from the Current Education Minister Ms Jorien Wuite to delivering fresh produce to the Minister of VROMI Mr. Miklos Gitterson, to help him get a better understanding of the importance of St Maarten using its agri-cultural reserved land for cultivation… Wyatte expressed that he is proud of all the volunteers that are participating and hope that they can soon be a bit more settled after all the cleaning up to focus on expanding crop production. A number of produce such as, cilantro, arugula, bak choy, cherry tomatoes, rainbow swiss chard, salad bowl lettuce and Spicy Salad mix can now be available for community members at cheaper rates then the current supermarket price. Wyatte also mention that they will be cultivation and donating 10-20% of its crops to community based organization as their way of reaching out to and helping these organizations cut cost on certain food item and who may be interested in seeing agriculture become a reality for St Maarten..

‘’With so much going on at the current moment and job employment still on the rise, we hope we soon may be able to get more support to continue our compensated volunteer objectives that help these few volunteer make end meat during these trouble time.’’ Wyatte mentioned..
Wyatte sends a special thank you to organizations such as Prins Berhard Culture Fonds, Chefs of St Maarten’s Vegans, Act and Pack Backpack project and supporters of cultural xpression for their support in allowing us to get the community garden cleaned up and distribute goods to surrounding community members.
