Description
I am a landscape architect specialized in landscape management, wild/natural gardening and growing plants ecologically. I have a little farm where I try out my concepts – sort of landscape laboratory. Neighbour's sheep are taking care of natural grasslands and forest pastures. The garden is in mixed natural style (trees, bushes, flowers, vegetables and herbs).
The farm is situated on Hiiumaa island (Estonia) in a very beautiful place near the sea and a port (1,5 km).Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco ProjectsGardeningDIY and building projectsFarmstay helpCultural exchange and learning opportunities
My farm and garden is a great place to learn about nature, plants and wildlife. I'm also interested in theatre, films, music, arts, environmental questions and politics and enjoy discussions in those subjects (languages: Estonian, English, Swedish, Finnish, some German).
Help
Help required: building sheep fence, haymaking, brushwood cutting, chopping firewood, gardening etc.
Great if volunteer is a fit person, interested in environmental questions and natural-style gardening. Some gardening and farm work experience is a merit. I prefer volunteers older than 30 years.Languages spoken
