About the project

ESC: Volunteering Team: help improving a vegetable garden

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

At the end of 2020, CBB received the management of a plot of land of around 20 acres, near the center of Marche-en-Famenne, in order to work on the theme of ecological transition and responsible consumption while creating activities that encourage the meeting of small groups of young people. We developed the plot into a garden, where we lead workshops (discovery of permaculture, construction of nest boxes, insect hotels, vegetable beds, etc.) and cultivate useful resources for young people who invest in our activities. We want our garden to become a place of meeting and (bio)diversity. It will live and evolve thanks to the interaction of the young people involved. With the help of a carpenter the volunteers will build a wood garden shed (5x5 meters) that we will use to stock our gardening tools and to host workshops for groups. It’s also foreseen to build a dry toilet
