We will head to the beautiful lands and waterways of Costa Rica — a place Chanel has always dreamed of going and where Alex has his Spiritual Awakening, which led to Chanel. Here, we will practice our Spanish and immerse ourselves in the natural beauty, joyful adventures, and invigorating ecosystems these lands have to offer.

A pollinator garden provides the herbaceous and root layers of a food forest, while providing food and habitat for wildlife, and medicinal herbs & beautiful flowers for humans.

Veggies form the root and herbaceous layers of a food forest, providing tasty treats. These funds will go to perennial veggies (asparagus, sorrel, etc.) and annual veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.)
