    Description

    We are a small group living on a farm in Senegal, where we are working to establish a forest garden. The environment is quiet and remote, surrounded by nature, with an emphasis on sustainable living and a simple lifestyle. Our goal is to create a harmonious space where people and the land can thrive together.

    Nous sommes un petit groupe vivant dans une ferme au Sénégal, où nous travaillons à établir un jardin-forêt. L'environnement est calme et isolé, entouré par la nature, avec un accent sur la vie durable et un mode de vie simple. Notre objectif est de créer un espace harmonieux où les gens et la terre peuvent prospérer ensemble.

    In our free time, we enjoy playing music with instruments like the handpan, drums, and flute. We also enjoy relaxing and engaging in creative activities. The area around the farm offers opportunities for walking and experiencing the quiet beauty of the natural surroundings. While the location is remote, it is an ideal space for those who appreciate a peaceful environment and a slower pace of life.

Nous apprécions également nous détendre et nous engager dans des activités créatives. La région autour de la ferme offre des possibilités de promenades et de découvrir la beauté tranquille des environs. Bien que l'endroit soit isolé, c'est un espace idéal pour ceux qui apprécient un environnement paisible et un rythme de vie plus lent.

    Our work focuses on maintaining and developing our forest garden. This includes planting, watering, composting, and experimenting with ways to enrich the soil. An average day often starts with tending to plants and making sure everything is in order. We are happy to share what we know about sustainable farming techniques and the principles of forest gardening. Afternoons may involve small projects, brainstorming new ideas, or learning opportunities related to the environment.

    Notre travail se concentre sur l'entretien et le développement de notre jardin-forêt. Cela inclut la plantation, l'arrosage, le compostage et l'expérimentation de nouvelles méthodes pour enrichir le sol. Une journée type commence souvent par l'entretien des plantes et la vérification de l'état général. Nous sommes heureux de partager nos connaissances sur les techniques agricoles durables et les principes du jardinage en forêt. Les après-midi peuvent être consacrés à de petits projets, à des séances de brainstorming ou à des opportunités d'apprentissage liées à l'environnement.
