Descripción
Hello, my name is Catherine I am from the UK currently living in central Portugal with my companion Rob from Auckland, we have 2 cats and 4 hens.
We live in a traditional Portuguese village, surrounded by nature ,olive and orange trees
We are looking for help to dismantle a dry stone wall in a garden, the task will be as follows:
Remove stones and put them into piles of roughly the same size, small stones into a bucket for later use
We are doing this preparation in order to replace the wall, we are planning to re build the wall in dry stone, or with clay render.
There may be other tasks such as helping in the garden, weeding, planting fruit trees, or feeding the hens table scraps or helping clean out the stable.
Volunteers may also be interested in making clay paint from natural materials found in nature, learning how to render a wall using clay and sand, or designing and creating a mosaic wall, digging swales in a permaculture garden.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
