His work encompasses the design and creation of school gardens, community gardens, food forests, and sustainable agricultural communities.

This design includes food forests, growing beds, and community-managed areas featuring flowers, herbs, berries, and edible perennials. The project's goals are to provide affordable housing, enhance people's sustainability & productivity, foster community building, provide educational opportunities, and promote edible landscaping.

He believes;
Permaculture is the next level of Human Consciousness!
