  I am a horticulturist and have been practicing sustainable gardening and living on my two acres land for over 25 years.
  
  I wear many hats, _A founder and organizer of Powell River Garden Tour, member of Canadian Rose Society, and a member of Garden Club.
  
  I taught cooking at night school and baking at cooks training program.
  Cooking with edible weeds is one of my passion, I believe that to eat un- contaminated food is good for our health and planet .
  
  Building tiny houses by using locally materials, is a another passion of my, There are three small buildings on my property, the Tree house, the Cob house and the Meditation house are all built with this principle in mind.
  
  And the three small tiny houses will be the accommodations for my helpers - Either WorkAwayers and or Woofers.
  
  1) Treehouse, has a double bed, and a deck, from the deck one can see the main garden and ocean,
  
  2) Meditation house has 4 bunk beds, shower and wash basins . The building is located in a small wooded area with a creek running below.
  
  3) Cob house, very small has a bathroom equipped with hot shower, flush toilet, and a heated tile floor.
  
  The large covered outdoor kitchen and dinning place is free for you to cook and social , it has the best WiFi, And a table with chairs, plus outdoor furnitures, The grape vines under the clear fibre glass let sun through in the Spring, provide shade In the Summer and supply fruits and juice in the Fall .
  
  Four hours a day you will help me the mostly gardening work, if you are capable you can help me with building another tiny building for an outhouse.
  Two days off in a week will give you a chance to explore Powell Rive outdoors wonders, Beaches , trails, lakes and mountain nearby.
  
  I will cook either lunch or dinner so we can all eat together and social, and you can create your own special food for the other two meals with the materials I will supply. Or we can cook together.

  If you wish to go out of town to North or South, a public bus station is only 3 to 4 minutes walk distance from where you stay. I also have bicycles you can use.
  
  During the weekend you can take a bus to Lund - the northern part of Powell River and also the end of high way 101 from South America. It has the famous Nancy's restaurant and other restaurants, a gallery, and a harbour.The water taxi runs regularly to the well known Savary Island. You can rent a kayak to the Copland Islands, and Desolation Sound.
  
  Or you can take a ferry ( 5 minutes walk to the ferry from where you stay) to Vancouver Island. While crossing the ocean you may see Humpback or Killer whales swim by.
  
  If you are here at the end of Summer or Fall, you can watch salmon running up the creek at the the Salmon Hatchery which is located about 15 minutes drive away. And you may see black bears catching salmons in the creek.
  
  There are many lakes, forest trails nearby you can explore. The most famous "Sunshine Coast Trail", From start to the end hike will take about 10 days, huts are available along the trails, free of charge.
  
  Public beaches on the ocean are spread from North to south of town, the nearest one is in town, which is located about 15 to 20minutes walk from my property.
  
  If you are a rock climber, we have at least couple places you can go.
  
  There are good cafes and restaurants near where I live, all in short walking distance. evening walk along the SEA WALK you might see whale swim by, The sea in front of the SEA WALK is framed on the left by Texada Island, on the right by Hardwood Island, and far off on the West is Vancouver Island. The sea is calm like a mirror unless weather is stormy, which is seldom.
  You will meet friendly local walking their dog or just walk out for seeing the sunset. There are benched along the path.
  
  I encourage you to ask me as many questions as you may have.
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you!
