    Description

    in our project 4 families are living.
    We try to make this land to a nice place for humans, all the little animals like bees and birds and don´t forget of course... the secret life of plants.
    It´s beautiful to live here, very close to the nature reserve and to the Baltic sea and go on forming and shaping the garden and our house and home.
    We have a building site with ecological demands, such as a solar heating system, mudbrick building, permaculture and so on. If you are interested to handle natural materials such as wood, stone, soil and clay, you are welcome to our join our creative projects.
    In our garden we grow our own vegetable, and we have many fruit trees (mostly apples, to make our own apple juice in autumn...).
    We already planted a small forest, digged a few small lakes, try to preserve rare and endangered plants and of course harvest some food from our vegetable garden...
