Hello,
I need need help in reconstructing the house and the garden.
You can take a flight or a boat to Heraklion and I can give you a lift with the car to the village.
I would welcome some help around the house, like cleaning the garden from the leaves, planting trees, cleaning trees, creating paths and shades from bamboos and much more which needs expertise with using tools. I welcome people with gardening and permaculture skills, and also with natural building skills.
