  • Description

    Description

    We are surfers, gardeners, lovers of the earth, animals, and each other living in Nosara, Costa Rica on the beach. We are looking for like minded earth lovers to help with projects for nursery and seed house and all things garden. We are also open to other creative ideas. It would be so nice if you love to help with animals too. We have 3 rescue dogs and two cats. You will love this space waking up to the sound of the ocean and ending the day with epic sunsets on the beach. Lots of drumming music and delicious healthy food around.
