Volunteers will support us with gardening, caring for plants, maintaining green areas, and helping with general tasks around the quinta (country property). Activities may also include organizing outdoor spaces, basic maintenance, cleaning shared areas, and assisting with small improvement projects.
We are looking for enthusiastic, responsible people who enjoy working outdoors, learning new skills, and contributing to a welcoming environment. No special experience is required, just a positive attitude, willingness to help, and respect for nature and the property.
