Guys... I wish you all a happy monsoon--but I'm outta here for the next 7 weeks.

I'm off to my awesome friends (and dentists) at , kazakhstan to have my teeth rebuilt. 42 years old and would like to enjoy eating food on both sides of my mouth 😀 at some point in my life.

After that I'm off home (with my wife) to visit my Mother! Which is gonna be super awesome.

After the last few years of risking our lives and vehicles to plant and deliver trees around nepal during monsoon, this year we decided, no more... Trees are better planted in autumn, winter or spring, anyway.

So guys, enjoy the rainy season, don't travel much and stay cool!

Om namah shivaya!

Amazing day yesterday to meet Sir. Michael Kadoorie, his family and Foundation members at Almost Heaven Farm in Ilam. Where we got to share our ongoing partnerships and our work in Kanchenjunga's Phaktanglung Municipality and understand more our crossing points and shared visions for Regenerative Agriculture in Nepal.

As always, a great effort by Almost Heaven Farm & Himalayan Agroecology teams for putting the day together. Mayor Mukti for joining and for such great chances to get together in person and vision.

Friday we completed our first week long Masterclass in Nursery and Fruit Tree Management. We had 8 participants between between Gorkha, Nuwakot, Kavrepalanchowk, Palpa and Taplejung Districts.

Trainees learned about different varieties of trees and about producing thru various grafting techniques. As well as disease and pest identification and management and the various types of non-chemical management.

Emphasis was also given on seed collection for rootstock production using indigenous varieties, as well as learning which seeds compliment which varieties of fruit trees.

Trainees learned mostly thru practice-while sharing their own reasons for learning and why they joined the class in relation to their lives and jobs.

Each trainee received 20 Mother Trees for their own genetic security, tools, materials, as well as plant materials so they can all immediately start their own micro nursery upon returning home. We also set up a group forum using WhatsApp, so the Trainees can send their feedback, questions, problem shooting and success back into the group.

As always, with good people and support we were able to run this workshop. So a big thanks to Lead Trainer Mr. Binod Puri from All in One Nursery who's decades of nursery and plant management is the pinnacle of tree knowledge in Nepal and proud to call him my teacher. Biggest thank you is to Hollands for supporting the training and trainees and the whole 5eob team for putting it together and making it a great success.

Lastly Mr. Mingma Dandu Sherpa for making the time to visit and support the trainees from the east with whom we are helping Phaktanglung Municipality to set up their Agricultural Knowledge Center's Nursery Department.

Roots to the East--Those who’ve been following, have seen 5eob and I have been going east regularly since early last year—Ilam, Sankhuwasaba and lately Kanchenjunga side. Since the first invitation by Zach’ Dai and Almost Heaven Farms, the east has kept pulling me back with more ‘n’ more interesting, motivating and enjoyable works, sales and opportunities.

Maybe it was the visit to Tumlingtar’s Manakamanama Temple (what the heart wishes), that has helped sew the threads of my journey’s eastwards. And, connected the dots to us having more exciting things ahead of us and numerous projects to sink our hearts into.

I have found the scope of potential for all things trees, plantations, communities and organisations working together there to be heartwarming. Motivating us to find ways to join the eastern movement and put down roots. We are now working on creating a nursery center for our eastern operations.

So, to name but a few, some great thanks to Almost Heaven Farms, Agro Sherpa, Sekaha Green Village, Phaktanglung Gaunpalika and the Kanchenjunga Buddhist Social Services, for engaging and motivating us into newer works and hopes for a greener and cleaner tomorrow.

Keep following for more updates!
