  Description

  We started a permacultural project in the historic centre of Bogotá, Colombia.
  The main idea is to create a sustainable urban place for gardening (growing food and medicinal plants), building with natural materials, cooking healthy vegetarian food, creating diverse wall paintings and doing spiritual work to heal body & mind.

  Help

  Dear volunteers,
  We need help with a many different tasks, so there's always something to do. We started to renovate the house and the garden just a few months ago. Besides, we built a beautiful roof terrace with bamboo (guadua) to have a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the sun, but also for plants & cozy campfires at night!
  
  Tasks:
  There's a big garden to regreen "reverdecer" a central place in the heart of Bogotá. We need help planting as well as taking care of the plants, building furniture, painting walls and creating collectively an urban permacultural project.
  
  So gardeners/farmers, artists, cooks, constructors and ... are most welcome!!!

  What else ...

  In their time off helpers can explore the historic centre of Bogotá that is full of museums, cultural events, and great restaurants or bars. Besides, the 'Candelaria' has to offer beautiful mountains just around the corner and there are also many nice parks nearby. Don't forget the big variety of delicious colombian fruits that you can buy in every corner and specially in the plazas de mercado. EN COLOMBIA SE VIVE SABROSO
