  Description

  I am a world traveler, I spend some of my time in Zimbabwe. This food forest is a passion project for me and I want to share it with others who will also love it and enjoy being part of an effort to create an ecosystem, fully functioning in the city 🧡
  
  The food forest is already created, but there is still so much fun stuff to do like converting my swimming pool into a natural pool and saying goodbye to chlorine and Pool acid forever 😎
  
  I am converting my double garage at the moment, so much fun going on here.
  
  I have completed a brand-new volunteer room. It can sleep two people and there is an option for camping. I would like this to be a project that runs itself-‘to be completely self~sufficient is to be free.
  
  Animal feeding time from 5pm onwards. Feed the fish, feed the ducks, chickens, tortoises, plants. Immerse yourself in nature, city nature 🌳
  
  A beautiful acre plot in Harare's northern suburbs. Creating an organic life growing my own fruits and vegetables, composting, vermiculture, aquaponics, raising rabbits, ducks and chickens, permaculture … come and play.
  
  I have a business making sweets and jams. Bring your interests and talents. I'm sure we can find something for you to do!
  
  Right now, I am specifically looking for help with building, carpentry, electrical, artists. All talents welcome, let me know what you can do…
  
  Hard work required
  
  Accommodation included
  
  Eat what you can grow in the garden.
  
  5 hours a day (Mon-Fri).
  
  I look forward to meeting you .
