Description
Dear friends,
we thank everyone who is interested in our activities and helps us.
This is a non-profit project created to educate preschool and primary school children about ecology. Children receive information about permaculture at our events, and a lot of preparatory work needs to be done to make them happen regularly. A vegetable garden is a living organism that requires care every day.
To keep the vegetable garden in good condition, we invest a lot of our time and money, mostly working other jobs to earn money to invest in this project. Sometimes this can take us up to 12 hours a day in other places outside the garden, and during this period we do not have time to accept new volunteers and communicate freely. Therefore, we want to inform our volunteers, adults who want to come to us: when you decide to help us, it will be a lot of practical, sometimes quite simple and boring work, such as digging, picking up stones, etc. Conversations take place only during breakfast and dinner at the table, not during work. If you are primarily interested in learning about permaculture, you can choose any course you like from the Internet, we do not promote any of the schools. If you are interested in joining us and contributing to the development of our project, we would be grateful for physical assistance for 4 hours a day, or donations. To view all of our policies, go to our garden's namesake website.
Thank you for your help and support!

Thanks again for your help. You did a lot of work and very carefully. I hope we get a great strawberry harvest next year. Come visit us again.
They handled it themselves, which gave me the freedom to do other work. I invite them to visit the garden again, at any convenient time. And I wish you a good trip and new knowledge and friends.
Our task was to dig beds 4 hours a day/7 days per week. But Andriy is very flexible so you can rearrange the hours however you want. The work was not very hard and Andriy made sure that we were happy with our task.
