| description | Over time, communities have developed their own customs for relating to their natural environment, based on their knowledge and experiences. This knowledge, especially in the human-plant relationship, includes multiple uses, such as medicinal or nutritional uses, which have been built through intergenerational educational processes. However, in contemporary society, this knowledge has experienced a reduction or fragmentation evidenced in the approach and interaction with communities and their natural environment. Therefore, this article aims to recognize the ethnobotanical knowledge of a peasant community from an environmental approach to strengthen the perception of Community Education scenarios. The study is carried out through qualitative research with some quantitative aspects through IV methodological phases: reading of the context, social characterization, design, application and analysis of data collection instruments. During the process, it was established that the recognition of ethnobotanical knowledge constitutes an important part in the construction and formation of the community based on dialogue and exchange of traditional knowledge. Likewise, it strengthens the perception of Community Education providing solid bases to rethink mechanisms of resistance and empowerment of the community by valuing its knowledge as experiential and local training that responds to current challenges. In the quantitative aspects, 191 species of plants were found distributed in 6 ethnobotanical uses: therapeutic, nutritional, ornamental, aesthetic, handicraft and spiritual, allowing to understand the dynamics between the peasant community and plants in a contextual framework in these community education scenarios. |

A lo largo del tiempo, las comunidades han desarrollado costumbres propias para relacionarse con su entorno natural, establecidas en sus saberes y experiencias. Estos conocimientos, especialmente la relación ser humano-planta, abarcan múltiples usos, como el medicinal o nutricional que han sido construidos mediante procesos educativos intergeneracionales. Sin embargo, en la sociedad contemporánea estos saberes han experimentado una reducción o fragmentación evidenciada en el acercamiento y la interacción de las comunidades con su entorno natural. Por lo tanto, el artículo tiene como objetivo reconocer los saberes etnobotánicos de una comunidad campesina, desde un enfoque ambiental, para fortalecer la percepción de los escenarios de educación comunitaria. El estudio se lleva a cabo mediante investigación cualitativa con algunos aspectos cuantitativos, en IV fases metodológicas: lectura del contexto, caracterización social, diseño, aplicación y análisis de instrumentos de recolección de información. Durante el proceso se logró establecer, que el reconocimiento de los saberes etnobotánicos constituye parte importante en la construcción y formación de la comunidad desde el diálogo e intercambio de saberes tradicionales. Asimismo, fortalece la percepción de la educación comunitaria, proporcionando bases sólidas para repensarse mecanismos de resistencia y empoderamiento de la comunidad, al valorar su conocimiento como formación vivencial y local, y respondiendo a los desafíos y retos actuales. En los aspectos cuantitativos se encontraron 191 especies de plantas, se distribuyeron en 6 usos etnobotánicos: terapéutico, nutricional, ornamental, estético, artesanal y espiritual, permitiendo entender las dinámicas entre la comunidad campesina y las plantas, en un marco contextual en estos escenarios de educación comunitaria.
