🏢 About the local organisation
Solidarity Garden is an inclusion project for people who are facing several social difficulties. The workcamp will be an opportunity for you to work together and take part to this human adventure. Since 2001, our organisation welcomes volunteers and workers in various orchards, farm, beehives and organic vegetable gardens. Members of the organisaiton come each day in the solidarity garden to pick their vegetables on the advice of the volunteers and workers. We also lead actions for environmental education towards youth.
💼 What the programme involves
During two weeks, you will take part in the farm's life and help the workers in their everyday tasks of organic farming and beekeeping. This year we have two projects :
-renovate and create beehives of many kinds, so that you can learn a lot about these amazing creatures and how to take care of them. In the end the beehives will be open to the public as a padagogical tool.
-create wooden constructions for the farm's vegetables. This technique is made to maintain levels of various vegetable "floors" and support the natural life of the soil. If you are interested in understanding the work of nature, that is defintiely an experience for you.
We may do both projects but it is unsure at the moment.
