Conservation
Education
Beautification
After 2 years, they were stunned with the beauty their land had attained and it transformed their fascination into an obsession. With each new bloom and log overturned the nature world and the ecosystem they had created inspired them to take their new found obsession further…
In 2023, the couple had the idea of sharing their joy and fascination, but they needed help. They brought in Michael Baker, a food foraging expert and co-host of the Wild Edible World podcast, and Jenn Louisignau, a passionate horticulturist.

Together they make up the Remnant Roots team.
