  Description

  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 are interested in permaculture and have plans to build a chicken coop amongst other self-sustainable elements. 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.

  ** PERMACULTURE/GARDEN PROJECT **
  We need immediate help with landscaping and design, growing fruit guilds and planting.
  
  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, which is also often frequented by a big group of monkeys! So problem solving to keep the produce safe from them is essential. 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.
