Description
For two years now, I have been spending all my free time on learning more about permaculture, I volunteer at an urban permaculture garden, and spent a month at Liz&Steve's offgrid farm tiling, digging out trees and replanting them on another plot, cleaning the donkey muck and using it to feed the vegetable beds, and a number of other tasks.
Now that my work allows me to spend more time volunteering, I'm hoping to take more time off in regions that suffer from desertification, since it'll be great to learn from people living under these circumstances, so I can create something similar in the near future.
I'm a gentle, solutions-oriented person who works well alone and in groups.

Gábor has taken on the Herculian task of fixing up an old house and taking care of a 5500 sqm orchard garden with 40+ trees while having a full-time job. The house and garden are full of tools and projects: just pick one and run with it!
