The Polyculture Study helped me study nature, myself and those around me

Being a part of The Polyculture Study was a very special period of my life. It changed me a lot, for good. I realized how inspiring it is to be in touch with soil and plants, and creatures inhabiting the garden I worked in, and also to be in good touch with the people I worked with. I felt how fulfilling it is to grow the food you eat and to offer this food to others. I am happy to have had this opportunity to support the Study and the wonderful family behind it, and to be supported by them in return. I am grateful for everything I learned about nature, growing food sustainably, living in a community.
Sometimes it wasn't easy at all, growing food can be a very hard job. And this is even more stimulating - working hard makes you stronger, smarter and happier.
Living with other people can be a very hard job too, but again it makes you stronger, smarter and happier... and kinder.
I realized I am very keen on gardening and studying nature, and I want to do it forever.
