Description
We started permaculture project 3 years ago in Shinanomachi. It is a beautiful area with mountains and lake. We have vegetable farm and started planting trees. We are starting to prepare for food forest. Also we do some constructions with natural materials with traditional techniques. We are 5, Julian (Spanish) and Yoko (Japanese) with Daisuke (10 years old), Kazuki (8 years old) and Nae(our dog). The terrain is big and we still have a lot to go for the project. Come help us and share the permaculture process.
