🌿 Help Us Build Our Dream Garden in Transylvania (Târgu Mureș, Romania)
We are a quiet family living on a 2400 sqm property just outside Târgu Mureș, a lively Transylvanian city with rich Romanian and Hungarian heritage and beautiful architecture. Our location offers the perfect mix of peaceful countryside living while staying close to city life.
Târgu Mureș is well known for it's medical university and it is a great base for exploring Transilvania. Turda’s salt mine is very close, the spa town of Sovata, Lacul Roșu, the mountain area of Toplița and vibrant Cluj-Napoca — a region full of culture, history, and nature.

🛠 What We Need Help With:
Half of our land is already beautifully landscaped with full grown vegetation, but the other half is a blank canvas ready for an exciting new project. We’re looking for a motivated volunteer who enjoys outdoor work and would like to help us build something meaningful from scratch.
Couples are welcome !!
We can offer parking for those traveling with campers
If you have a small child 3-6 years old let us know, we are open.
Projects include:
* Planting trees
* Building raised beds for a vegetable garden (permaculture)
*Fencing
* Odd jobs @ the house (no renovation work, the house already well maintained)
* Helping around the property
*Cooking
*Spending time with the kids, maybe teaching them some of your language skills
It would be great to have someone with permaculture background that would get us started with our own vegetable garden.
Other expertise for the above are also welcome.
Our long-term vision for the land: permaculture garden, vegetable garden, pond, car port, mini PV farm
There is a real opportunity to contribute with ideas and help design parts of the project.
We are not a business and we only seek help and support for helping us around the garden and landscaping.
