A Dream Come True ...
I was trained as a primary school teacher and took my first art lessons at age fourteen.
I hold certificates in Reiki, Reflexology and BodyTalk. A lifetime of practicing meditation, relaxation and yoga led me to a deep understanding of just how strong our spiritual and emotional ties to the Earth really are. I was called to this land in 1975 when it came up for sale. We moved from a century old cut limestone farm house on 25 acres to an empty bush lot with no water, electricity or buildings!!! Together we built a dream. |
Gentle on the Land ...
I was schooled in engineering, trained
as a carpenter and became a gardener by choice. My prime directive is to keep human impact on the environment to a minimum. After designing and building a passive solar home with a dry composting toilet, I turned my skills to designing gardens that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. At an age when most people retire, I have come to share Dee's dream to create a sanctuary for all who are seeking healing. We call it ... Rural Rootz! |
Without faith and friends none of this would have been possible
All that you see when you come to Rural Rootz is our "hands-on" creation, from the buildings,
to the gardens, the labyrinths and now Dragons!!!
