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 Learning Space:
We are honored to be stewarding 7 acres of conservation-zoned land. atop a tiny, glorious mountain in Dover, PA.
We are blessed with flowing underground springs, a clear running creek and a well above the farmlands, vernal pools, an ephemeral creek, abundant mossy landing pads, elder trees, native & ephemeral edible and medicinal plants, wild pawpaw groves, and a growing garden and orchard. We are next to a field of horses, tucked into the forest in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountains, and 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: at a local friend's AirBnB, or in one of our 16 cozy beds.
Coming soon: pix of the Earthworm Learning Center's freshly renovated barn (*construction almost complete*)!
