  Descripción

  Changing our environment in central Portugal into a more sustainable micro-world. We are a gay couple doing vegetable and floristic gardening on a ecological way. The gardening we do for our fun (physically and mentally) and for our own consumption. Two years ago we bought the predominantly pear fruit trees to save them - and us - from chemicals. In the surrounding area, agriculture, consisting of eucalyptus, pear trees and vineyards, functions almost exclusively conventionally (intensive, chemical). We are a small island in between and would like to convert this island in an organic way towards permaculture.

  45min. from/to Lisbon, less than 30min. to the coast (by car) as well as ecological aspects (solar power, heating, isolation, growing plants). Our intention is get to know each other in a period of at least 2 weeks. Getting to know the area is possible by taking our bicycle and if it fits we can give you a ride.

  Ayuda

  We would apreciate your skills/interests in gardening, forestry tasks or maintenance. The period of 2 weeks is ment to reach a good personal relationsship.
  
  Apart from the general and permanent tasks of weeding, mowing and maintaining the trees we would currently like to improve the walls and a structure/roof of our shelter. We shall try to make a fence with plants.
  
  As we depend on the weather conditions it might be necessary to work a full day in between and compensate it as well as within your individual schedule.

  Este anfitrión ofrece intercambio de idiomas
  Conversation is central for understanding. Therefore I would be glad to teach german and english language. To learn portuguese language from a workaway member would be a plus or to learn portuguese together.
