Pineksai, derived from the root word 'poksai,' meaning to raise or to nurture, embodies our mission to pass on CHamoru cultural knowledge and foster the use of the CHamoru language through sustainable gardening practices. Through CHamoru language garden tours and engaging workshops, this project aims to deepen community ties to land and culture.

Traditionally, the CHamoru people looked to the moon to guide their agricultural practices and track the passage of time. Embrace the lunar wisdom of our ancestors with our CHamoru lunar calendar resource, which details the seasonal availability of each plant from our garden tour according to the moon's phases.
