Description
Hello!
We are two friends: Jabber is a Mexican circus and tattoo artist, and Hugo is a landscape architect passionate about trees, plants, meditation, and nature. We both love to travel and expand our knowledge in different fields, especially ancient traditions and natural medicine.
Hugo is also following a bioenergetic healing training and dedicates a few hours every day to meditation and energetic practices. He will be happy to share about this topic and, if you feel like it, to offer a session.
Our main project is to create an edible park that also serves as a creative and welcoming space for artists. It is located on a large piece of land with a river running through it and surrounded by forest. There are two yurts, a small Provençal cottage, two small huts used as kitchen and toilets, and two caravans for hosting.
In the upper part of our land, we have planted hundreds of different trees to help the soil recover from years of intensive agriculture. We also have two riverside vegetable gardens designed with permaculture principles and permanent terraced lines. These gardens require a lot of care, attention, and love.
We also collaborate with artists and neighbors from the village. We have built an outdoor stage to host performing arts, propose wellness and creative workshops, and organize small events and artist residencies.
These projects require time, energy, and passion, and they are a dream come true for us. We are very grateful for everything we've built so far!
There is still a lot to do, so we are looking for motivated, autonomous, and creative people who enjoy art, nature, working with their hands, and sharing. We especially welcome people with experience in gardening, eco-farming, DIY, or artistic activities to enrich our project.
Help we usually need:
🌱 GARDENING & LAND TASKS: Help with sowing, planting, weeding, watering, and caring for the gardens.
🍇 VINEYARD CARE: Depending on the season, help with simple tasks in the small vineyard, such as light pruning or harvesting.
🏡 LIGHT DIY HELP: Assist with small repairs, light painting, or simple wood tasks — always as an extra helping hand, not as professional construction work.
🎨 ART & CREATIVE PROJECTS: You are welcome to share your artistic talents (painting, crafts, cooking, performing, etc.) or propose small workshops for the community.
🎥 VIDEO & PHOTO: If you have skills in video or photography and would like to capture moments of the gardens, community life, or artistic events, you are very welcome to share your creative eye with us! These are personal or community-oriented projects, and there is no obligation — it’s more about exchanging and creating memories together.
💬 OTHER HELP: We are open to your ideas — let us know how you imagine contributing!

Bonjour !
Nous sommes deux amis : Jabber, artiste de cirque et tatoueur mexicain, et Hugo, architecte paysagiste passionné par les arbres, les plantes, la méditation et la nature. Nous aimons tous les deux voyager et enrichir nos connaissances dans différents domaines, en particulier les traditions anciennes et la médecine naturelle.
Hugo suit également une formation en soin bioénergétique et consacre chaque jour quelques heures à la méditation et aux pratiques énergétiques. Il sera heureux d’échanger avec vous sur ce sujet et, si vous le souhaitez, de vous proposer un soin.
Notre projet principal est de créer un parc comestible, un espace créatif pour accueillir les artistes. Il est situé sur un grand terrain traversé par une rivière et entouré d'une forêt. On y trouve deux yourtes, un petit mazet en pierre, deux cabanes utilisées comme cuisine et toilettes, et deux caravanes pour héberger.
Dans la partie haute du terrain, nous avons planté des centaines d'arbres fruitier et aidons le sol a redémarrer après des années de cultures non bio. Nous avons aussi deux potagers en bord de rivière, conçus selon les principes de la permaculture et aménagés en terrasses permanentes. Ces espaces demandent beaucoup de soin, d’attention et d’amour.
Nous collaborons également avec des artistes et des habitants du village. Nous avons construit une scène extérieure pour accueillir des arts vivants, proposer des ateliers de bien-être et de création, et organiser de petits événements et résidences artistiques.
Ces projets demandent beaucoup de temps, d’énergie et de passion, et ils représentent un rêve devenu réalité pour nous. Nous sommes très reconnaissants de tout ce qui a été accompli jusqu’à présent !
Il reste encore beaucoup à faire, et nous recherchons des personnes motivées, autonomes et créatives qui aiment l’art, la nature, le travail manuel et le partage. Nous accueillons particulièrement des personnes ayant déjà une expérience en jardinage, agroécologie, bricolage ou activités artistiques, pour enrichir le projet.
Des coup de main :
🌱 JARDINAGE ET TRAVAUX EXTÉRIEURS : Aider à semer, planter, désherber, arroser et entretenir les jardins.
🍇 VIGNE : Selon la saison, nous avons besoin d’aide pour de petites tâches dans la vigne, comme la taille légère ou la récolte.
🏡 PETIT BRICOLAGE & ENTRETIEN LÉGER : Participer à de petites réparations, peintures ou constructions simples en bois — toujours comme coup de main, et non comme travail professionnel.
🎨 ART & PROJETS CRÉATIFS : Vous pouvez partager vos talents artistiques (peinture, artisanat, cuisine, spectacle, etc.) ou proposer de petits ateliers pour la communauté.
🎥 VIDÉO & PHOTO : Si vous avez des compétences en vidéo ou en photographie et que vous souhaitez capturer des moments dans les jardins, la vie collective ou les événements artistiques, vous êtes les bienvenus pour partager votre regard créatif avec nous ! Il s’agit de projets personnels ou communautaires, sans obligation — l’idée est d’échanger et de créer des souvenirs ensemble.
💬 AUTRES AIDES : Nous sommes ouverts à vos idées — dites-nous comment vous imaginez contribuer !
