Description
Hi I am Kristos, working on a plant nursery and designing permaculture food forest in a half-desertic area in canada.
Using inspirations from Korean natural farming, Permaculture, No-till gardening, Regenerative agriculture, a touch of Lazy gardenning and much more, I work with nature.
I love upcycling, creating using what I can find around and observing all the creatures finding a home amidst the bioshelters resulting from the food forest growth. Designing a half tropical greenhouse in wich I grow some exotic plants is part of my hobby.
I live on an off- grid Island and have the amazing opportunity and privilege to be creative with what we have around.
I love to create space for art to happen. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I works with all sorts of exotic plants at the nursery. I speak french and English. I love dancing and I go to an intentional dance sometimes. I love learning about new foods, and would be pleased to share skills in permaculture, gardenning, pruning trees and shrubs.
I am also happy to teach how to use power tools for construction and how to build using some natural materials. -

Help
There is all sorts of building and gardenning projects, we are finishing part of the greenhouse with a food processing area. In summer there is lots of fruits and veggies to pick and sometimes I go to the local farmer market to sell some produce or transformed goods. There also is an opportunity to learn about canning, drying and preserving food.
