  Description

  We are a busy family of 4 with one cat and a puppy, running our own business, teaching yoga, and volunteering for our educational charity, here in Karimunjawa. We have an ongoing garden project on our 5,000 sqm private land. As well as growing fruit and vegetables, we are also landscaping, planting and creating a variety of small, unique spaces around the land. We want the land to be as organic as possible, prioritising natural fertilisers and pesticides. We would love help training our puppy.
  
  This island has a small, close knit community, who love to help each other out, so there will be many opportunities to explore the island collecting a variety of local flora to plant in our garden.

  **GARDENING**
  Primarily we’re looking for people with knowledge in permaculture/gardening/landscaping and who have experience growing in the tropics. We have 5,000 sqm of private land that we have started turning into a fruit and vegetable garden. There is a freshwater stream on this piece of land, but water is still limited in the rainy season, so we’d love a way to catch more rain water or somehow save more water. We really need someone with experience growing in the tropics and we’d love for this person to share their skills and knowledge with our caretaker who will tend to the garden in the long-term. The key here is that we’d love to create a two-way exchange of knowledge between local gardeners and experienced permaculture volunteers.
