Pollinator Garden Size Identified

As we are developing the pollinator Garden, we understand that the project will have to be done in phases.  The park itself will be rather large as the first of four section will be some 25 ft. wide by 50 ft. long.  The park will be designed, planned, and built by Hurko Co.  We are look at the company as it will make its introduction to Haiti for the first time in 2016.

The funding for the pollinator garden will be determined by Jan. 2016.  The project is being looked at from a few different perspectives.  The project would be drastically cut down in size if the grant is denied.  Part of the pollination/honeybee highway, the pollinator garden will introduce many new types of plants to La Gonave such as the kiwano and Date Palm Tree.  Existing plants and trees such as the Flamboyant Tree would also be grown.  From a conservation view, this park will educate the public on what each plant and tree does for the environment.  Also it will stress the importance of pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, many of which are extinct in Haiti due to deforestation.
Flamboyant Tree
The initial pollinator garden is the first step of many that will aid in deforestation, food production, and honeybees.  Other gardens will be planned for Anse-a-Galets as well as other cities on the island based on future funding.

The first pollinator garden will potentially have swings and playgrounds nearby in the future as well.  Also part of the plan could include classrooms or a community center that would be near the pollinator garden. 

Pollinator gardens are being developed in many cities in America from Seattle to Washington DC.  The importance of these gardens to equal out the imbalance that many creates face can't be measured.

Stay tuned as we provide more details of when the park will be built and the overall blueprint of the project.

Go Gonave!

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

Image
La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Baham...

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that i...

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day,...
