We often offer courses to teach about natural growing and living and building techniques and skills and bush craft and living off the grid. Based on interest and participation we will run or cancel events as it is a huge time commitment for everyone. If you have something that you want to learn, contact us and we will host an event. We aim for 10-25 participants per event.
Also if you want me to come out and teach about mushrooms or seed starting and seed saving, I will travel if you have 10-or more participants. We can work out a few and mileage that works for us both.
So again, there are online event events that you can attend no matter where you live and join our list for mail outs so you never miss an event!
