Description
Help with veggie garden and construction in Lefkada island, Greece. We are a family of four, Isabella and Vangellis and the children Gabriella (16) and Adrianna (14). We live in a house with a big garden (300sq.m) and we also operate a restaurant.
The project has been going on for a year now and is quite successful. We have been experimenting with different gardening techniques, permaculture, EM and rock dust, and natural farming, producing vegetables, flowers and some trees. We also plan to build a cob house.

We are at the center of Nydri, a famous touristic village with very nice scenery around, a waterfall 2km away, a boat to the surrounding islands 100m away and enough so that you can get to know the Greek culture. It is only 17km from Lefkada town with regular buses. Lefkada is the second island of Greece where you can have access by car.
