Gabriel Howearth
Botanist, Landscape architect, Seedsman

Founder of Buena Fortuna Botanical Garden, in Southern  Baja Mexico 
(3700 plant species of the tropical and dry tropical regions of the 
world), he is the president of Siempre Semillas AC, a Mexican NGO 
whose main focus is to preserve seed diversity by teaching and 
planting, Gabriel  has a personal seed bank  collection  of a living 
geneology of plants containing many rare, endangered and exotic 
species of forgotten and little known food sources of great 
nutritional, cultural and genetic value he was an original Co-founder 
of Seeds of Change, the foremost GMO free organic seed company in the 
U.S. and half of the world.

Currently he is working with several ecological organizations in 
central and South America as well as he is available to travel 
worldwide to teach about Organic seeds and ways to preserve our 
genetic seed purity locally in order to contribute to the global 
change in positive ways.

As part of the many consultations he has done recently includes:

Professional Consultation for "Dreaming New Mexico" towards a food & 
energy self-sustainable State by the year 2020; an ambitious and well 
supported project, initiative of Bioneers with the participation of a 
number of NGO's, Farmers,  Indigenous Groups, Schools as well as 
Governmental support.

Professional consultation in Southern Oregon helping organize local 
seedsman and farmers work towards helping its people in the bioregion 
become seed and food self-sufficient - beyond sustainable.

In the early stages of developing a Polycultural- Permacultural 
landscape Design for state of the art Ola Brisa Eco Community in 
Todos Santos, on the Pacific Coast side of Baja California Sur, 
Mexico.

Some of his previous work include research work with Sonic Bloom 
sound frequencies and music and pyramid enhancement for seeds and 
plants with documented success written in very popular books: 
"Secrets of the soil" and "The secret life of Plants" by two famous 
authors/researchers Peter Tompkins and Christopher Byrd. The results 
of this research show how certain frequencies and music really works 
to greatly enhance plant grow production, yield, nutrition, flavor, 
quality and germination power of seeds especially enhanced by the 
combination of the use of Mayan pyramid seed enhancers.

He has traveled around the world and worked with many indigenous 
people to develop and increase diversity in organic farming and 
gardening. He has 30 years experience teaching and practicing 
permaculture, seed saving, biodynamic and organic agriculture.
