    Please contact me in French

    My name is Marc-André, and I'm currently building my house and landscaping my property for the third year in a row. I need some help with various tasks depending on the stage of construction and the garden's needs. I love life and people, nature and sharing experiences. I speak French, English, and Spanish. I live in a little corner of paradise in the Gaspé Peninsula, in a vibrant village, just 1 km from an eco-village where I lived for five years and still work.
    Come join this wonderful project and add your artistic touch or your permaculture vision to the garden and orchard in development. I would be delighted to welcome you to this magical place. (Whales and abundance as a bonus!)
