  Description

  My wife Sallie and myself live above the Esquimalt Lagoon, right beside the Royal Roads Forest. We have a large yard where we are restoring a Garry Oak meadow. Every morning we (as well as our guests downstairs) are able to enjoy the sunrise over the ocean . Afterwards, we often walk in the large forest next door, or walk down to the beach or lagoon. Our workaway guests are helping us primarily with the meadow restoration, garden work and odd jobs around the property.
