FOOD FOREST

Sustainable Project

Few years ago I have decided to embark on an interesting life journey and already several years of experimenting and learning on a small scale, I think that is time for me to step for a bigger Eco project. In the last years I have gathered some money 12% of total amount that is needed for the eco project and with part of it will buy a bigger piece of land in the village Rosu where I live, and here I'm going to plant Forest garden. Creating this page I wish to find people and future friends that can support my project to have a good start and financial investment.


Starting with growing there a food forest / forest garden. The project it will last for many years and every support I can get is going to be a big help and a ticket for you as a future visitor and customer of our Eco products and agrotourism services. The final goal is to create an forest garden / experimental garden and nursery using Permaculture methods in producing the naturally grown fruits, berries, vegetables, herbs, nuts, honey, mushrooms, and a variety of organic seeds, heirloom seeds, roots of plants and flowers, young bushes and (seeds of) fruit trees.

And to create an open space experimental permaculture garden with big possibilities in ecotourism area for those who want to learn in practice and to see this project as an real example, where I'll offer accommodation, hiking, biking, village excursions, terrace in the nature and garden, playing games area, camping area, sauna. I do understand the importance of sustainability in our lifestyles and respect for the environment and the animals and hope for more people to join this way of life.

I plan that at the end of this year of 2025 will be possible to start the first plantation and with the help of volunteers that are welcome to join me any time.

Budget Plan:

1. First amount 25% part of the budget that I am collecting donations are needed to buy 5 hectares of land and planting materials like young trees, bushes, variety of seeds.

2. Second amount 25% part of the budget that I am collecting donations are needed to pay technical works / tractor service creating terraces for garden and camping area also digging rain water collectors.

3. Third amount 25% part of the budget that I am collecting donations are needed for materials to build green houses and buying all small working land tools (ex. electric pump, generator or solar panels...).

4. Fourth amount 25% part of the budget that I am collecting donations are needed to buy materials for building small Eco house and sauna.

Approximate total budget is 125 000 euros.

Traveling for gardening - Combining gardening, cooking, and travel

Image
I'm embarking on a journey that blends my passions for gardening, cooking, and travel. As I travel across Europe, I bring my experience in creating and maintaining vegetable and fruit gardens, food forests, and landscaping projects that are guided by sustainable permaculture principles. I love to grow organic food in people's gardens and share my joy of cooking for families I meet along the way. My travels take me from Moldova, Italy, Austria, France, to Spain and Portugal, where I immerse myself in the diverse garden styles and permaculture practices and share my experiences to inspire sustainable living and make a positive impact on the environment. My name is Constantin, and I'm a passionate gardener, cook, and traveler. For the past decade, I've dedicated myself to creating the EcoCostel garden in Moldova, which is known internationally for its sustainable gardening practices and permaculture principles. The garden is a popular destination for those seeking to learn...

Seasons at EcoCostel Garden

Image
Spring Spring time at  EcoCostel  is the perfect season to enjoy the magic of Constantins personal project - the garden. The entire garden is designed, and implemented, by Constantin, using Permaculture. This method allows a diversity of healthy trees, fruit, shrubs, flowers, vegetables and herbs to grow both in harmony and ecologically. Spring signals the time for planting, seeding, weeding and the harvesting of fresh herbs. Constantin works solo in the garden, managing all aspects on his own, however, during your stay, if you would like to get involved in some gardening, Constantin will happily let you join in and teach you gardening methods along the way. The beauty of the spring time is amazing, all the fruit trees are in a natural competition to have as many flowers as they can, making lots of summer fruits. Large numbers of bees are attracted to the heady aromas of spring, within the garden, and arrive in big groups to commence their work to ensure an abundance of ...

What our guests say...

Guests at EcoCostel Read this blog in   French   Portuguese   Russian   Romanian   German “We had the privilege of staying with Constantin for several weeks in the autumn of 2014. Constantin was the consummate host. He enthusiastically showed us the sites of his village, Rosu, and of the city of Cahul, and demonstrated a lot of patience with all of our questions. His culinary skills are top notch, and we enjoyed learning about permaculture and life in Moldova from him. At our request, he even made arrangements for us to visit the local elementary school, and to harvest grapes at his neighbor’s home. He is a great ambassador to the region and the country as a whole, and we hope to return to his home someday soon.” www.triciaannemitchell.com Tricia and Shawn from USA “I was lucky enough to spend a night there a few months ago, and it will remain one of my best memory of Moldova.

Ecotourism – A Great Sustainable Way To Travel

Image
Ecotourism (or sustainable tourism)  Is when one goes on holiday visiting pristine and relatively undisturbed natural areas, simultaneously being cautious of the environment, where tourists will usually stay in the homes of the hosts. It is seen as an alternative to mass tourism, who can be significantly unsustainable. Its purpose is to learn about the locals culture, perhaps to help benefit the economic growth of local communities, to encourage understanding and respect for different cultures and human rights, to support personal growth and of course to have fun and relax. All of these with the smallest carbon footprint as possible and in a most responsible and sustainable way. The whole idea behind ecotourism is that it equally benefits the tourists, as well as the locals. Here are some guidelines to ecotourism: Protecting the environment – this means keeping to the footpath, not living litter and not starting fires, or protect the resources (not using to much water). No interfer...

Ecotourism or Sustainable Tourism

Image
Ecotourism I discovered this activity four years ago and now it has become my lifestyle. I like to meet people from around the world when they are in my area. All this became real to me using a social network called Couchsurfing, it is a community for travelers and tourists. I liked this idea and I became an active member hosting people who were traveling to this side of Moldova. In my first months of Couchsurfing my English was at a beginner level then after one year, it improved to the level of advanced. This was a great opportunity for me to learn new things and to understand other people’s cultures. Knowledge of the English language has helped me to learn new information from different people who visit me from different places around the world. Many of the people who visited my village said they like it. I also enjoyed the time spent with my guests, and of course, I made many international friends. The Most Active Member in Moldova After 4 years of being in the Couchsurfing communi...
