    Description

    The aim is to get the garden started and basic things such as cutting grass and planting trees and garden help with vegetables.

    The house is part of a long term project to develop adjoining farm to teach sustainable living. Our policy here is one of passive lifestyle with no anger or negative energy.

    ATTITUDE........ is all important here as we wish to have love and harmony in our home.
    this project not a business.

    We heat the house with wood we harvest on the farm with back up system of LPG and try to live in sustainable way and conserve natural resources, I enjoy peace and there is positive energy in the house, all here strive for good karma.

    We grow as much food as possible and have a garden to keep with fruit and veg also tree planting this year.

    A great deal of time is spend in the garden and volunteers should have interest in this project..When it's busy we can do longer days exchange time with you.

    At weekend while free from day help your tidying and cooking is the volunteers responsibility. Normally i can pick you up and drop you to nearest bus.

    Many thanks,
    Patrick
