4. Taradise on Budleigh

Sharon grows chemical free and has wonderful wildlife, including birdlife and skinks. Her compact vegetable growing area includes a green house, shade house, tumbler compost bins, bees and chickens. Sharon’s many fruit trees are espaliered down the long driveway, making good use of space. She loves to seed save, preserve surplus food, make beeswax wraps, share knowledge of beekeeping and often hosts HelpX tourists to help on her property.
