🏢 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 learn how to produce organic vegetables in a sustainably way and how to renovate beehives. You will participate to workshops "organic products: do it yourself". You will take part of the farm's life (Gabriel, our lama loves hugs :) ), feed animals and learn how to take care of them. There will also be some work to improve and place and embellish the garden (with wood and flowers).
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will sleep in tents in the garden, just beside the House of Children and Nature. You will have access to a kitchen, to the bathrooms and a common room for indoor activities. Camp leaders and volunteers will pay attention to the food, provide local products and respect a balanced diet. Volunteers will cook in groups according to a planning that they will decide with the campleaders.
