Description
I've been traveling for past few years and I met wonderful people in the world. I eventually decided to settle down for a while in Hokkaido Japan. I have a huge garden in Sapporo, where is 20min by car from the city center. I would love to create a space where everybody can take a rest and enjoy the nature even it is the big city. I need help for gardening mainly. I'm learning a permaculture project by myself. If you have permaculture experience , It would be great help.
