About Janie Gardener

Janie Gardener's background in areas such as business, Natural Hygiene, the 80/10/10 lifestyle, photography, computer programming, web development, fine arts, crafts, and graphic arts, in a variety of media and platforms, has allowed her to step in and work with us as a consultant as needed since 2005. She has also been attending and/or working at our Washington State events as our Ambiance Fairy, and other areas of responsibility there as needed. Also known as Jungle Janie, she first started eating a vegetarian diet in college in 1984, and transitioned into a vegan diet within a year. Janie has been practicing a natural hygienic lifestyle since the mid-1980's, and 80/10/10 since June 2002. Her story as of the first printing of The 80/10/10 Diet is in the appendix. Until September 2017, she had been living on the “Garden Island” of Kauai for over 24 years, where, between working with us and other clients, she was focused on a long-term goal of an organic Permaculture agro-forestry homesteading off-grid lifestyle. She and Darrel have been traveling the US Mainland since our 2017 retreats and will be at the 2018 retreats as well.
