Food Forest, Northern Ontario

 

That last decade I have been developing my skills in landscape design and the practice of regenerative design. I have a space in Northern Ontario where I have the ability to do so. From practicing permaculture design principles, growing food for my entire family, growing herbs and medicine for myself, friends, and family. It has been a journey that is still constantly growing and developing. Where I am today and what I have learnt thus far on my educational journey is such a gift.
