    Description

    We are located in the "border triangle" of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary in the beautyful East Styrian hills. We are creating a Lab for Art, Nature and Awarness.
    You are very wellcome if who want to join us with helping hands in the garden (organic gardening), construction and renovation tasks, carpentry and painting, if you like to upcycle furniture or you are good in repairing machines. May be you are interested in helping to shape the outdoor space, plant bushes, trees and flowers. We start to renaturalise forest, floodplain and pond in a joint project. Right now we are renovating one of the houses. There is a lot to learn. We are well networked with biologists and organic farmers. We are looking forward to diligent, helping hands and engaged people!
