💼 What the programme involves
For two years now, the association has been developing a vegetable garden space by using permaculture techniques. This year, we wish to establish an irrigation system that will alow us to optimize the waterind of the garden and green spaces, and to limit the water consumption. The work will consist of building two wooden structures (1m50 high) where the rain water will be collected, and the creation of a channel system. The structure will be made out of wood with inter-locking cross beams. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to learn the basics of wood work, and to begin using the manual cutting and carving tools. You will also be able to work on the vegetable garden and discover the main principles of permaculture.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In tents with access to outdoor sanitary blocks and dry toilets. An equiped kitchen is situated in the main building. The food is provided and the meals will be prepared by rotating groups of volunteers.
