Description
I own a small piece of land in Sicily, Eolian archipelago, Salina Island, Malfa Gramignazzi. The nature is incredibly beautiful and generous, but it is hard to cultivate: it is terraced and almost everything must be done by hand. Yet it is worth of, it repays with light, colours, scent and the beauty of an incontaminate landscape. I am trying to cultivate herbs, and I join a group of agriculture, but beside this there is still a lot of things to do: watering the flowers, cleaning the garden from the "malerbe" (unwanted plants) etc...

Help
We are is a small agricoltural project, situated on the beautiful island of Salina in the Aeolian archipelago. We are implanting trees, medicinal herbs, hives in a terraced territory with dry stone walls, which therefore require special work and skills. Beside the work for starting the project, there is still a lot of things to do, with the gardens, the watering, the cleaning of the paths... Workawayers will not be helping with any product that is sold and any help is for our non-profit ecological project.
