Hi, my name is Juliana. I’m looking for a small piece of land in the Comox Valley to support my work at the intersection of ecology, community education, fibre arts, healing, and cultural reconnection.
I’m the founder of Plants Are Teachers (plantsareteachers.org), a community-rooted initiative offering hands-on workshops and land-based programming focused on plant learning, natural dyes, and creative practices that foster care, reciprocity, and relationship with the land.
I'm currently looking for a space where I can:
- Host small workshops or gatherings
- Grow plants for natural dyes and fibre, including native and culturally significant species
- Tend the land in a regenerative, respectful, and relational way
I’m open to lease, land-share, or collaborative arrangements with people who share values of stewardship, learning, and connection. A simple outdoor gathering area or small shelter would be a welcome bonus, but not essential.
If this speaks to you or someone you know, I’d love to connect.
Warmly,
Juliana Bedoya
