My 19-year-old son is moving to the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico to help his aunt start a permaculture garden on her land. He’ll have about a 1/4 acre to work with.

I want to send him with books* and resources. However, most I’ve found are for temperate climates.

*Books would be nice because they have solar power and it only provides power part of the time, so internet won’t always be available there, though helpful websites, blogs, vlogs, etc would be good, too!

Background:

My sister-in-law is building a school for at-risk teens and wants a garden on the campus. My son has always been fascinated by gardening but we have a tiny backyard and has never had the opportunity to grow more than a couple pepper plants. She is busy with building the school and is taking all the help she can get. So, she told him he could be in charge of the garden – he was excited and decided to take the offer! He is kind of floundering here (PA, USA) at the moment and has been making poor decisions, so I think it’d be a good growing experience for him to go down there for a while. The town they live in is very safe and rural, and he’d be with his cousins, who are all good influences.
