    Description

    Springtime is coming. The garden and the land need maintance.
    II am looking now for 1-2 persons who want to help in the garden.
    Would you make the experience to live in full nature, only 4 kms away from Budens, near the beaches Boca do Rio and Salema, in the district of Vila do Bispo, in the Southwest of the Algarve?
    There is also a parking place for a campervan and you can use a bicycle for to go to the beach or the village.
    I edited 2013 a book about biodiversity in this area- for the identification of the fauna and flora around us.
    Landscape: Hills with hedges and trees. I try to protect different habitats for wild animals. The beach Boca do Rio is 15 min away.
    The food is vegetarian or vegan, enriched with the vegetables from the garden.
    you should have knowledge for cooking simple meals.
    And bring along their own practical shoes and clothes.
    For water protection : degradable toilet articles( shampoo, tooth creme, soap). I try in different ways to reduce water consume and use the grey water.
    But there is for shower warm water.
    Rooms: An independent apartment
    for 1-2 people.
    Saturday and Sunday. Free time .
    One big bathroom with an outside shower and a compost toilet.
    The helper has to work every day 4 hours in the morning.
    Free internet in the whole house.
    The Supermarket Intermarché , the post office , and a little medical center are in Budens.
    You should have a health insurance.
