Introduction
At Wild Turtle, our vision extends beyond mere construction; we strive to create an agroecological paradise where sustainability and harmony with nature prevail.
Through meticulous planning, innovative design, unwavering dedication and lots of talking, we've transformed our dream into a reality.
Each aspect of our project, from village planning to garden cultivation and community events, reflects our commitment to establishing a thriving ecosystem and a down to earth community.
You will find here the several ideas and places we aim to create, some are just in the stage of an idea, some are already well established features of our land. For each project, you can see the start date and the overall completion.
