  We are located in the "border triangle" of Austria, Slovenia, Hungary in the beautyful East Styrian hills. We are creating a Lab for Art, Nature and Awarness.
  You are very wellcome if who want to join us with helping hands in taking care of the garden (organic gardening), doing construction and renovation tasks, carpentry and painting, if you are good in repairing machines or if you would like to help shape the outdoor space, plant bushes, trees and flowers.

There is a lot to learn, we are well networked with biologists and organic farmers. We are looking forward to diligent, helping hands and engaged people!
