Open Houses
💼 What the programme involves
The former park surrounding the manor house had been unused and abandoned for decades. Year by year, Open Houses brings back to life another part of the huge garden area. Also this year the gardening and cleaning works at the historical park will be continued. The participants will mow the lawn, cut bushes and trees and reconstruct paths. In the back part of the park that is still an inaccessible wilderness they will sort out stones to use them later for walls or paths and level the ground. In addition they will replace the old, broken fence by a new one. Beside that the volunteers will carry out small handcraft works as repair a storage house for fire wood, paint fences and similar tasks.The participants should be aware of the fact that the works will take place outdoor, also in case of bad weather.
🏠 Accommodation on site
common sleeping room with mattresses, warm shower and toilets, no washing machines available,The meals will be prepared together as they are part of the community life, what means that everybody will be responsible for the meal at least once during its stay. So it would be very nice if you could bring typical recipes from home in order to introduce each other to the preparation of food from all over the world.
