Beschreibung
We are going to host the main permaculture festival in Latvia on August 8.-11. 2024. So we are looking for helpful hand about daily routines in garden and doing the festival location - big tent making, wooden chairs and tables for participants, building new rocket massheater etc. We are open to all kind of creative ideas about designs from natural materials and musical/artistic performances in festival time.

Our home stead is located in small village Rogovka. We are here living just two womans: me - and my mother Daina. We both are taking care about 3ha land with permaculture garden, decorative plant collections, food forest, few ducks and hens, 3 pounds here etc. Our passion is organic and slow countryside living, where you can enyoj your own rythm of daily routines.

Our family project and hobby in one is to organise permaculture events, nature-based workshops and teach landscape design principles to our students. Our aim is to built a place for gadening school with it's own library and more expand the alternative agrotourism. Now we are on the way - doing everything by ourselves, step by step. Here the chores are very common rural area things - food harvesting, foraging, animal feeding, lawn moving, watering the plants, celebrating the local occasions, taking care about garden visitors and making photo/video content for blog. We are always openminded for fresh ideas and helpful hands for improving our permaculture paradise!

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Near to our house is the culture events hall, where we sometimes are taking part in dekorating the rooms and village environment. We have a youth center, where is going on some cooking classes and they will be happy to share the room for new ideas. We are often going to plant nurseries and visiting other permaculture home steadings in Latvia. So everthing about organic gardening in Northern Europe and landscape planing we are sharing with our Workawayers. We'll be happy about new knowledge about garden making and cooking from other countries. We are open to different type of art projects also - music, land art, graphic design, sewing or dance... The art of practical and creative rural living - that's all what we are doing here in Rogovka, because that make our lifes fullfilled with joy!
