Come and help us with gardening and eco project on the Silver coast, Portugal

  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. Two 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.

  Este anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
  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.
