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.

  We would apreciate your skills/interests in gardening, forestry tasks or maintenance. The minimum 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 start to make a fence with plants. Apart from the general and permanent tasks of weeding and mowing there is always help welcome in the pine forest and cortyard. 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.
