    Description

    My name is Pavla, I'm Czech, but live in UK. I've studied arts at uni and followed with doing a permaculture design course. I'm a professional gardener and run a business with foraged foods. My interests and skills are foraging, gardening, growing, cooking, preserving and eating ethical and healthy food, herbalism, community gardens, meditation I'm fluent in English. I have got two boys 11 and 8 years old who are bilingual. We have got a small cottage with garden and small orchard. I'm establishing a forest garden at the moment and working on passive irrigation strategies. Our place is surrounded by gardens but is near woods and close to a village with amazing natural swimming pool.
