What people are saying
“For us we were looking for an outlet to be outside, we love our apartment but it’s tiny so we were looking for people with like values, who are interested in the earth, in planting, in consideration of ecosystems”
“It’s also about care. Because we’ve bonded to the land here we have more of an investment in the plants and we want them to do well. It requires someone to give their time and you know that’s valuable”
