Description
Hey there! We are Thibaut (French architect and photographer ) and Jelena (Canadian, Croatian circular economy PhD student) and with our two kids: Ayla 5 months and Oscar 2,5 years, we are starting to work on our eco sanctuary in the heart of the Corsican mountains. We have 7,000m2 of property where we’re going to build our future home, two tiny houses for tourists, a natural swimming pool etc. We are really excited to host people that are willing to get their hands dirty, learn with us as we experiment and try things in our garden. You will not be required to do any building or construction. However if that interests you then you're more than welcome to help! we urgently need help to develop the syntropic forest garden system: helping to start seeds, plant, mulch, pruning, etc. We are developing one of the first truly syntropic systems in Corsica.
