    Description

    I am a 60-year-old man, I studied philosophy and have been a teacher all my life in colleges and universities. For several years I have lived on a farm in Cáqueza, a rural area approximately two hours from the city of Bogotá, with a temperate climate, and since I have lived here I have been involved in a project to reforest, plant trees, make it a pleasant place for those who visit me, share domestic activities, make a home garden, etc. I would like to share this experience with volunteers. No previous knowledge of agriculture or gardening is required.

No se requieren conocimientos previos de agricultura ni de jardinería.
