About me

Garden Vision

Vizija Bašte

Zdravo, ja sam Andrea. Radila sam kao učitelica ekologije, razvijajući školske baštenske programe, nastavne planove i programe za javne i privatne škole. Želim da osnujem omladinsku edukativnu baštu pored reke Zete, u blizini glavnog grada Podgorice, u Crnoj Gori.

Hello My name is Andrea. I moved to Montenegro in 2012. My husband Jesse and I have 4 amazing sons who we have the privilege to educate at home. In 2020 we opened Bašta Zeta as away to share our passion for connecting kids to nature in Montenegro. We also hope to open a summer camp program about ecology and conservation in our forest by the river called Šuma Zeta.
