Tierra Maria Estates (TME) recently organized free lectures on Environment Protection last March 29 at the Tierra Maria Estates site in Brgy Anilao, Lipa, Batangas.
Tierra Maria Estates invited two esteemed lecturers in their respective fields who are both advocates for a healthier environment --- Ms. Chin Chin Gutierrez and Mr. Pat Acosta.
MR. PAT ACOSTA has made it his mission to propagate skills and know-how on Organic Gardening. His 3,000 sq. m. micro-eco farm named, Master's Garden, located at Brgy Pinalyok, Puguis, La Trinidad demonstrates the benefits for the environment and the consumers of organically grown vegetables and crops. As a farmer, he has equipped himself with the right knowledge and proper skills to raise such a productive farm. A horticulturist at heart, he developed his confidence through trainings at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) and hands-on knowledge while visiting organic farms abroad. Master’s Garden introduces organic vegetable production and generates its own organic fertilizers utilizing weeds. A certain amount of compost from wild plants, kitchen scraps, weeds, leaves, etc. is produced every month, to maintain soil fertility.
MS. CHIN CHIN GUTIERREZ was recently launched as the spokesperson and celebrity home owner of Tierra Maria. Ms. Gutierrez has been cited as Time Magazine’s Asian Hero for the Environment in 2003 and has been known for her active participation in conducting lectures and forums on caring for the environment. Chin Chin is also an active campaigner for environmental protection and is a frequent lecturer on various subject matters concerning her advocacies. In this event, Ms. Gutierrez is set to give important pointers on Recycling and Sustainable Development.
