The experience

Hey you! we would love an extra hand in our nursery plants, called Amani Terra Vivero.
The place works also as a hotel on Airbnb, so we have shared rooms available where you'll be sleeping at, you will most likely sleep alone as these are not high demand.
My mom and I recently bought the nursery, so we might need an extra hand with the plants, cleaning up the yard, mow the lawn or a few other things
My mom and I speak english so everythings fine!

Program Details

Hey, I believe I settled 3 days work 6 hours x day and 1 day off, the day off is flexible.
Our nursery is surrounded by nature and many animals. You may see agoutis (guatines), ducks, hens, roosters, chicks, herons, birds, iguanas, and many other local animals and wildlife.
Please note that this is a working nursery that is open to the public from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, so there may be customers around the property during the day. We ask volunteers to be respectful and friendly when interacting with visitors.
As a volunteer at our nursery, you may help with a variety of gardening and maintenance activities, including watering plants, labeling and organizing plants, assisting with inventory, mowing the grass, pruning, planting, and keeping the nursery tidy. Occasionally, there may be more physically demanding outdoor tasks under the sun, such as planting, weeding, clearing vegetation, and general garden maintenance. We appreciate volunteers who enjoy nature and are comfortable with hands-on outdoor work.
We count with starlink so don't worry about the internet.


Activities & Shift
