Description

Hello, we are Esther and Xander, a gardener and tree surgeon from Shropshire, England.

Our jobs and interests mean we both love being outside, we spend our weekends hiking, camping, foraging and swimming.

From May we are taking a break from our lives in England to explore Canada. We hope to seek out experiences that will help equip us with some more practical skills. And to further our knowledge of sustainable practises that we can carry forward into the future.

We share a broad range of interests including:
Growing plants for food, medicine and fibre
Sustainable forestry
Self sufficiency
Nature conservation
Caring for animals
Ecology/Permaculture/Biodynamics

We are also available for house/farm/pet sitting!
We have lots of experience, please see our Trusted Housesitters profile for more info:
