It sticks 1500m /5000ft above all neighbouring mountains and is covered in […] Surinam family in French Guyana
During the civil/jungle war in Surinam in the 1980’s many people fled to neighbouring French Giuana. Only the mother of this family still speaks a bit of Dutch, the kids never learnt it.

It also can be hard to find the right varieties in sustainable versions. [...]University Mass Timber Pavilion was designed by students

Even so, it is possible to attain a net-zero garden and in some cases, create a carbon sink in your garden.A [...]Eat healthy and locally-sourced foods at Sweetgreen
