To do this mahi we do require passionate individuals who would be interesting in learning and supporting these initiates.

You will gain knowledge and skills to maintain and grow a low cost ecological self-sustaining food garden.

We don't not just grow food in ecological gardening, but also medicine, building materials, clothing materials etc can all be grown in our own neighbourhood.
