David, 53, and his wife Tea, 47, bought their garden in 2011. It is about 2200m² large and located near Mamkoda, north of Tbilisi. They bought the garden to be able to go out into nature and get away from the city, the traffic and the stress resulting from it. David lives, eats and sleeps in the garden, he takes care of the 3 rabbits, 6 dogs (Caucasian Ovcharka), about 100 chickens and 10 families of bees. Some of the dogs get sold for 400 GEL (~140€) and some stay at the garden. He plants vegetables and fruits, e.g. tomatoes, grapevines and mushrooms. David goes to the city twice a week to work and sometimes visits his family at the apartment and spends time with them there. Their oldest son George is 23 and creates 3D-Animations for a living. In 2021 he started giving lectures about 3D-Animation. The other son, John, 17, and their daughter Salome, 12, both go to school. Tea and Salome visit him most weekends and stay with him to help him take care of everything.
