Learn about ecological gardening on the Silver coast, Portugal

Detalhes

  Descrição

  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. Three 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. Let's influence the environment of Bombarral.

  Ajuda

  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.
  
  In view of the coming summer, it is important to get the irrigation system up to scratch again. Beside that we shall make a fence with plants. Apart from the general and permanent tasks of weeding and mowing there is always help in the forest. Improving the walls and the structure/roof of our shelter is still pending. An upcoming idea is doing a project in agroforestry for which we would apreciate your knowledge as well.
  
  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.

  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.
