  Description

  Help us transform our land in Tyn nad Vltavou, South Bohemia, Czech Republic.
  We would love to make our dreams into reality and we need your help!
  Our lovely plot of land needs volunteers who are interested in: gardening, permaculture, landscaping, construction and art projects. In exchange we offer a glamping experience in a furnished bell tent/ caravan and help you to get the most out of your time here.
  So, let me introduce myself: my name is Nicole and I am from England. I moved to Czech Republic with my Czech husband, Jan, two years ago. We have a soon to be 2 year old daughter and a newborn. We have got a lovely plot of land (almost 2 hectares) in Tyn nad Vltavou and have dreams of turning it into a self sufficient paradise.
  A little bit more about us: I have a master in education. As an educator, I understand the importance of outdoor space and how it forms young brains. This land has the potential to provide space for free play, life skills development and creativity. In the future, I hope to host summer camps and workshops for children here. Luckily, my husband is a landscape architect wiith a passion for upcycling. He likes to be creative and build something out of nothing. Jan, is a skilled carpenter too, so I am always very excited to see how his projects turn out.
  Overall, we are a young and open- minded family who would be over the moon to host you here anything is/could be possible with the correct planning.
  Everyone is welcome... looking forward to hearing from you.
