The Garden of Values in the Don Bosco community, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, entered a new phase of environmental education and spiritual practice by planting 50 fruit trees. This project, a tribute to the 100th year of the advent of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, aligns with the values and practices of the SSSIO of Mexico. Started on August 15, 2024, the garden aims to promote the human values of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love, and Nonviolence by fostering environmental sustainability through planting trees.

The project began with land evaluation and selection of native fruit trees, followed by a workshop on composting for the local youth. Preparations included soil cultivation and installing a drip irrigation system to conserve water. A highlight of the project was the active involvement of Don Bosco’s youth, who learned sustainable agricultural practices such as hydrogel production. At the inauguration ceremony, community member Tío Pepe encouraged everyone to practice Sathya Sai’s human values and live in harmony with nature.
