    Description

    I am a teacher of permaculture, organic horticulture and biodynamics. I've turned a one acre property from a rose garden into a permaculture garden and food forest. I run courses from the property. Vegetarians and meat eaters welcome. I don't cater for any other diets such as vegan, dairy free, wheat free, fruitarians etc.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I teach organic horticulture, permaculture and biodynamics and travellers are welcome to attend classes for free when they stay. None of the jobs that need doing need experience as I will be working alongside you and you can learn anything from gardening, to building structures and plastering and landscaping. Preference is given to people who are genuinely interested in gardening/organics/permaculture/ biodynamics - no tyre kickers please.....
