We are Jimi and Emily, or Jimily for short, and we live here at the EarthWorm Learning Center with our daughter Sofia Evergreen, our cats and chickens and all the other wild ones! We have rooted in here to start a family and to nourish and support the future generations and the Earth that loves us all.
Jimi spends much of his time doing ecological land work, including native habitat installation, garden bed creation, stone work, and woodland stewardship. He also enjoys playing musical instruments, doing comedy improv, and staring at a lava lamp. Find out more: www.jimisol.com

About The Space:
We are so grateful to be stewarding this precious 7 acres of conservation-zoned land atop a tiny, glorious mountain in Dover, PA.
We feel so blessed to be tending our edible medicinal backyard garden and flowing springs, creek, well...vernal pool, chem-free pool and crystal mud temple, abundant mossy landing pads, elder trees, native & ephemeral medicinal plants, wild pawpaw groves, and a growing orchard. We are beside a horses field, tucked into the forest, in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountains, just five minutes from Pinchot State Park.
We are a half hour away from Harrisburg and York, an hour from Baltimore and Lancaster, two hours from Philly and D.C., and three hours from NYC.
If you are coming from afar for a weekend gathering, send us a message and let's see how we can help you with airport pick-up and a soft spot to land: here, or at a local friend's AirBnB.
