Description
We are a group of friends creating a new eco-garden from the beginning! Placed in the beautiful Vallgorguina valley sorrounded by the natural park of Montnegre-Corredor, not far from the Mediterranean sea, located right in the middle between Barcelona and Costa Brava. Starting a new project from the beginning is a huge challenge, nevertheless very compelling and exciting! We are looking forward to your help to clear out some spiky bushes so we can have some space to let the FUN start!!!! We envison many different activities and workshops in the middle of the forest, such as meditation, yoga, art, music, gardening, wood choping, animal welfare, and creating a calendar of trees where a different fruit tree will bloom every week of the year!!!! Come and help us! Let's have fun!!!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Learning about the plants and botanics of the Natural Parc of Montnegre-Corredor. Also about mushrooms during autumn season. Moreover, birds are quite common in the area and is beautiful to observe them. Since we are located in Spain, travellers can benefit from learning and practising Spanish and Catalan languages, also France is quite near so it's common to find French speakers in the area, especially along the coast touristic towns. Barcelona is the biggest city nearby and it has unlimited culturals possibilities.
Help
At the moment we are focusing on clearing out the bushes to create a space in the middle of the forest to be able to park the campervans, and create a basecamp from where we can build future workshops. A lot of physical work, especially forest related tasks such as woodchopping.

Accommodation
We can only host campervans at the moment that could park in our piece of land. Campervans need to bring their own water, toilet, electricity, kitchen and bed. We do not have a place to empty your grey waters within the eco-garden. This is the beginning of the project so we are starting everything to improve with the time.
What else ...
During your free time you can walk to visit the Natural Park of Montnegre Corredor, enjoying its Mediterranean nature. Also inside this area there is a pre-historical monument called "Dolment of Vallgorguina" dating more than 3.000 years old.
Moreover, the sea in just down the hill. So, take your swimming costume and towel to be ready for a swim in the Mediterranean. In case you also enjoy hiking, the Pyrinees are not too far, so it's possible for a day trip.
Also, there are excellent paths for mountainbikes.
There are buses from Vallgorguina village to the beach and to Barcelona city. The closest train stations are Arenys de Mar and Sant Celoni.
