You are very wellcome if you want to join us with your helping hands in the garden (organic gardening), around the house and with upcycling. We are renaturalising a part of our forest, floodplain and pond in our joint project, may be you are interested in helping to shape the outdoor space, plant bushes, trees and flowers. There is a large field for creative activities and in touch with nature. We are well networked with biologists and organic farmers.
We are looking forward to diligent engaged people to share competences!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We enable our guests to participate in our many experiences in gardening, living connected with the nature, ecological building, artistic and handicraft activities and renovating. We are open-minded, interested people and we are well connected with other inovativ people in this beautiful part of Austria. So you also may have the opportunity to meet our friends and their projects (different kind of organic farms, alternative housing project for communal living, organic wine production, etc.). ...
Help
In the organic garden there is always somekind of work to do and to learn from each other, planting, harvesting, preparing compost or mowing the meadows. In all building there are always new ideas waiting to be realized. Also tools and machines are "happy" to be serviced. May be you are interested in shaping the outdoor space, to plant bushes, trees and flowers and constructing fences in a natural way. Renaturalising the pond, floodplain and forest is a wonderful project of a nice community of friends and guests.
When cooking (VEGETARIAN) helping hands are wellcome and kitchen wants to be cleaned afterwards.
In general we are very interested in getting in touch with creative people who are concerned about a mindful and benevolent interaction with others and nature.
