Welcome, Cacao Gardener!
Cacao Gardener is a not-for-profit initiative with a simple intention: Working together to plant trees and restore a biodiverse, spirited Cacao forest in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia. Join our community and become yourself a Cacao “Spirit” Gardener and a guardian to a sacred Cacao Tree.
Cacao Gardener Colombia · For the Sacred Forest
Seed by seed, a spirited Cacao forest is rising slowly in the North of Colombia, between the Caribbean coast and the high mountains and tropical rainforest of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The land we are working with has rested for almost a decade to recover from deforestation and intensive cattle ranching. With joy and gratitude we witness now the return home of plants, trees and animals.
Plant a Cacao tree and be part of a greater vision
Make a one-time gift and plant a Cacao tree in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia. We will receive your offering as a blessing and sacred prayer to the Cacao Spirit and Pachamama. Together, we proudly support the birthing of Cacao trees. We are Cacao Gardeners. Thank you for your support and care.
The Cacao Gardener gift of EUR 55 is used to plant, tend, grow, and maintain Cacao trees and their neighbouring trees - from the seedlings at the tree nursery to a strong forest ecosystem. We are committed to raising awareness of spirited reforestation practices in the Sierra. Will you be joining us? Plant a Cacao tree today - for yourself or as a present to a loved one.

We love Cacao!
We love Cacao. We honour the sacred Cacao spirit gifting us with a heart-warming and soul-nourishing medicine. We want to learn from the Cacao tree and nurture all stages from planting, growing, harvesting to serving the heart-opening medicine in ceremony.
