Descripción
Our farm is a family home set within 30 acres of secluded valley on the Dorset/Devon border, 2 miles from picturesque Lyme Regis - the 'Pearl of Dorset' - on the Jurassic coast. With woods, meadows, an orchard, two ponds and a stream running through it, the farm is a place of great natural beauty and home to abundant wildlife, but has not been a productive farm for some years. We are currently embarking on a program of improvement, with a philosophy of sustainability, reviving woodland and creating a new garden.

Ayuda
Volunteers are needed to help with a varied range of gardening tasks, some of them heavy. There is lots to do and there will normally be a choice of tasks. Although volunteers will normally be helping alongside our gardener, our groundsman, or garden apprentice, they may sometimes be asked to do tasks independently. It would suit flexible, practical, outdoorsy people

Tom was a really great volunteer, hardworking, keen, interested and cheerful. Open and chatty, with a good sense of humour. Dug great holes, very efficiently! A pleasure to have around and got stuff done. Highly recommended.

This was my first ever workaway experience and one I will not forget! The beautiful scenery and characters who work at the farm were an absolute pleasure. I spent most of my time with Paul who greeted me upon arrival at the train station, I was made to feel immediately comfortable with conversation flowing easily. Paul is an excellent teacher with… read more

Isabel and I had a great time! There was a wonderful cast of characters, including Paul who was a WONDERFUL host and a great friend. We stayed in a barn with disco balls (which is not common of our past time in barns), and spent the days learning about and fostering the farm grounds. Paul made sure we always had plenty of food to eat and that our… read more

Nina and Ed are immensely likeable individuals, positive, genial, considerate and well mannered. They were a joy to have on the farm. They were happy to turn their hand to anything and got lots done, for which I'm most grateful :)

We had a wonderful time here. True to the pictures, this is an incredibly picturesque and biodiverse piece of land which makes you feel at peace as soon as you arrive. Working with Paul and Nick was great, the tasks were varied and we learnt a lot which was our aim. We did things like planting young trees, placing tree and plant guards, building a… read more

Sophie is a positive, open person, hardworking and good company. She was interested, interesting to talk to and very easy to get on with. She had a great attitude to work and threw herself into the most boring, physical task with determination and good humour. I would highly recommend her!

I can't reccommend this workaway enough! I stayed a month and had the most wonderful time here. Nick and Paul were so welcoming, I felt at home straight away. The work is hard but satisfying and enjoyable. I learnt a lot about gardening, land management and also how amazing our bodies can be when we use them. The farm is peaceful, beautiful and… read more

I loved this place so much! Firstly it’s in an amazing location, really quiet and peaceful, and not too far away from Lyme Regis.

I spent most of my time working alongside Paul in the garden. He’s such a nice guy, really funny and laid back, and he’s very conscious of making sure you’re happy with the workload. He knows everything about… read more

He's responsible, very polite, friendly, clean and tidy, has a good sense of humour and makes tasty vegan food! The perfect Workaway volunteer. I would recommend him to anyone and have him… read more

Daniel and Anna were great workawayers. Impeccable English, well-mannered, intelligent, personable, they were a pleasure to have at the farm. They were novice gardeners but good, steady workers, who were happy to turn their hands to anything, and quietly ticked a number of outstanding tasks off the list. They were very helpful and I would have… read more

We stayed at Flora’s for only two weeks, but it was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better first workaway experience. On the farm you work with Paul, who’s in charge with all the workaway business. He’s super friendly, attentive, funny and cares so much about your needs. The food he bought us was more than satisfying and the barn where we… read more

I would choose 6 stars if possible.
It is a uniquely beautiful place there. Paul (the gardener) and Nick (the landscaper) are highly professional in what they do. Likewise, they are very good in teaching and really interesting, amenable people to be around with.
As such, you will definitely add on your skillset whilst enjoying working with… read more

This was a workaway experience which we would happily replay. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty is an equally outstanding garden maintained by Paul and Nick. We enjoyed getting to know them both and learning about their combined knowledge of gardening and bee keeping. During our one week visit we helped put up estate fencing and cleared… read more

Taniya and Bart were great! I can't recommend them highly enough. They're a really lovely couple and they worked HARD! They were a total pleasure to spend time with, very easy, flexible, interesting to talk to, reliable, mature, keen, quick learners, thorough and good humoured. They came with their sweet rescue dog, who was no trouble whatsoever.

What a wonderful place to be and such nice people to work with! We enjoyed our stay here tremendously. The accomodation in the 'barn' (lovely cottage!) was excellent and the garden is amazing. I mean, how often do you have deer and badgers in your garden? And dippers in the stream running next to your cottage? And tawny owls hooting every night?… read more

Hale and Cihan were the perfect Workaway volunteers - enthusiastic, interested in the work they were doing, intelligent, personable, good humoured and very hard working. They are both great cooks - which is always a bonus! They were a pleasure to have on the farm, they gave a lot and made a real difference. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The farm is surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes which are flawless, a fabulous place for workawayers who love nature and outdoor works. Every detail in the farm has been oriented delightfully and artistically.

Dear Paul,

What an amazing three weeks have I experienced at the farm.
You and Nick taught me so much about gardening and all the other things that need to be done at the farm.
The first time I visited your Workaway page the pictures really catched my eye, but in real live it is even more beatiful.
It really is an idyllic setting.

I was with a friend of mine and we stayed 2 weeks and a half. It was so great, Paul and Nick, the two guys who take care of the property, were so nice ! We had our personal ban with a kitchen, a bathroom, two beds and a beautiful living-room with a big projector ! The property is wonderful and really huge ! It was just perfect.
