We are a small group in the West End dedicated to sustainability, cooperation, gardening, and friendship. We are building a vision for an EcoVillage in the West End: a living community with gardens, zero waste, bartering, and low-cost cooperative housing principles. We are on break in August. We'd love to have your ideas.
