Help
We are looking for strong people that prefer living participating in a healing earth project then over being free to go out and about.
We ask a minimum commitment of 1 month, with 25h/week of work in exchange for room, provisions for 3 vegetarian meals/day, yoga and meditation.
Help building a food forest garden involves preparation of the soil, selecting garden material, chopping it for composting, mulching, biochar and, when it’s ready, taking it to the ground where weeding, mulching, drilling, digging, building swalles can take place; checking/maintaining automatic irrigation, watering plants, grass and hedges cutting, improving walking paths and fences are also part of the garden maintenance .
Painting, technical works can also take place at the working hours.
We'll send application form to interested volunteers and more info about our daily life when selected and invited.
Possibility to stay for a longer term involvement as Coordinator / Team Member.

If you feel the need to stop your life and take a period for yourself I think this Garden is suitable.

I recommend this experience!

Such a joy to have someone like Tomas in your team. Lifts everyone’s spirits with his cheerful humor and attention to all that needs to be done. Very helpful, has contributed also by researching and implementing new ways for us to deal with what he called the Roly-polies, the little bugs that want to eat our melons and vegetables in the garden.… read more
