Help on a Mediterranean garden in Scicli, Italy

Details

• 

  Description

  I live in Venice but years ago I started fixing a house with a garden plus a field with olive trees in Sicily, in a village called Scicli.
  Now I am about to finish and I want this space to become alive and shared so I need a combination of hands helping in a Mediterranean garden and ideas and vision to be shared. The place is very beautiful and the light charming as well as the rocks around, the building materials of the houses and the vegetation. The intent is not just to have a clean and productive garden but a space for open artist residences, tradition roots and truth.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Mediterranean lifestyle, learning language and cooking, plus a great benefit is a lot of free time in a very creative space very good for the ones who have to write study think or create. Scicli has also a very interesting international artistic crew that day by day might be discovered

  Help

  Mainly it is an outside help, it doesn’t require particular skills but good energy and creativity to help me interpreting the garden spaces. Whoever as extra skills in eco projects is very welcome and needed but this is just an extra attitude that might ve discovered staying in the garden.
  Also I will need help during olive harvesting. In October.

  What else ...

  The area is very beautiful and there are many things to do like walking, the beach, the hills, countryside, the barocco area, the music scene, the historical cities all around. Transportation are not very ‘advanced’, that requires a lot of patient without a car or a friend with a car
