(2 reviews)2

The experience

We have 7,500 square metres of formal and food garden in need of repair, restoration, and reconsideration. We are looking for experienced and passionate gardeners, and those who like to work outdoors. We are living in a semi-rural setting, in the heart of a picturesque town on the Wine Route, surrounded by vineyards, but in a secluded spot. A mix of skills and passions from ornamental gardens, to apothecary plants, to food beds, and fruit trees

Program Details

We offer room and board in exchange for 4 hours of work each day, for 5 days out of 7. We dine together, though this is not required, and maintain a "family style" atmosphere, including with our guests. Maintaining the balance with a guest-first environment is important to us. We are a women's wellness and retreat centre and particularly value FLINTA volunteers, but all are welcome.


Activities & Shift

We are flexible about the daily schedule to enable individual volunteers to explore the region or work on other things in ways that give them flexibility.


Rules

We will provide a full list of expecations and rules, but first among them is to be respectful of others.
