Connect with local nature and have a sense of place in the prairie of the high desert of Arizona, USA

  Description

  I live on 10 acres of grassland in the high desert of Arizona. It is located in the middle of the state. From here you can easily visit Sedona, the Grand Canyon and Phoenix.
  
  My project is to create a prairie botanical garden, with paths and a barefoot trail. The idea is to connect with local nature, have a sense of place and appreciate the grassland unique landscape, views, wildflowers and plants.
  
  The help needed is to maintain the pathways which have already been created, line new ones with rocks, clean up the weeds and dead branches and gardening,
  
  I welcome knowledge about plants, about gardening and any creative ideas and art to add to the project.
  
  I grew up in France. This could be your opportunity to practice your French without leaving the country. Or if you are French, I could share my experience of living in the USA and in the Southwest.
  
  I can introduce to the sights around Prescott Valley and its different activities.
