Join us this summer for one or more 3-day immersions and be part of completing our backyard patio gathering area.
The 2 courses will focus around making a winding garden wall with planters, benches, niches, and a cook hearth. Participants will learn all stages from foundation, walls, and finishes. Healthy locally made meals and onsite camping included.
" Our community is forever growing with new interests skills and adaptability that is consciously designed through locally owned participatory processes in all four dimensions of sustainability (social, culture, ecology, and economy) to regenerate social and natural environments."

I have been the steward of the land for the last 7 years. Over that time
I have designed and built a two story strawbale home. Working alongside Zeb as my mentor. We are here to share all the knowledge and enjoyment of working with natural materials on a 45 acre off grid homestead!
