Mark is a fairly new local. He's been building an eco friendly house in the eco friendly village of Perahori for the past few eco friendly years. He loves the island and has decided to plant his roots here. Mark does more than just plant his own roots, he also plants the roots of anyone who wants or needs root planting. You see, Mark loves gardening, it's something that matters to him, thus his Gardening Business, Gardening Matters. Mark worked on Ithaki for various travel companies in the past, and is very well acquainted with the tourism industry, but one can tell his true love is the nature of Ithaca...and of course his partner, Lilia.
