    Description

    Hey !
    I am Maël, 25 y-o. I just ended my studies in business.
    I would like to share and open up our family project to volunteers of all backgrounds (French or foreigner). As the summer season approaches, there are thousands of things to do here. And alone, not always easy to maintain everything... We live here as a couple with cats, chickens, sheep, surrounded by birds.

    The idea is also to leave time for the volunteer to enjoy the region, visit the surroundings and enjoy the cultural and artistic life of La Gacilly

    --

    What's next: We try to build up a small team of international workawayers and share few days together around a gardening project. Ideally in june or july (As I am pretty sure I'll be around during this period of time), date to be defined. If that's in your mood, pop me a message ;)

    If you wanna join us soon, we will be looking for people around the 27-30th of June! Let me know if you're down ;)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our property is located near a small tourist village (La Gacilly) where photographic art exhibitions are held. There are also plenty of places to visit for those who love nature, hiking etc...
    We are also happy to receive foreign travellers to speak languages (French, German, English) and to exchange by cooking, making music, celebrating

    Help

    There is plenty of space here, we need to maintain the existing gardens, prune, cut wood and plant. We would also like to create a new (completely new) space for an organic vegetable garden. Building wooden fences, developing a space for herbs and medicinal plants, vegetables and fruits.
    For this, the knowledge of helpers in permaculture, vegetable gardening, or any other would be superb! Creative gardeners will be delighted, and together we could think about how to organise a project around food autonomy and embellish the existing spaces.
