My Experience at the project was ultimately positive... the food was amazing (Sophie is a wonderful cook and a kind and lovely person), the garden is small but there is always something to do and the hours and days of work are very much flexible! I would 100% recommend this experience, but with some caution to their family businesses which are based on extremist spiritual and alternative beliefs (they do not push any of this onto the volunteers) but it was a bit too much for me - the best way I can put it, is that Glastonbury just isn't for me. I simply should have done more research :)

It was the most confortable place that I've been since I began backpacking. Sophie is always friendly and she really tries to make your experience the best possible. The work is flexible and the food is delicious. They also borrowed me a bicycle so I could ride in Glastonburry, it was fun.

This was my second time staying with Sophie and her family and I enjoyed my time. I was really stressed out at the time about an upcoming exam I needed to take, but Sophie was so very understanding and made me feel at home, letting me stay despite my low physical and mental energy. I appreciate her and her family so much for welcoming me again and being there for me. I got to play with their cats, help out with cooking, and make a bonfire :)

We stayed in a tent, which was very nice and comfortable, although it did get a bit cold at night and some of the days there was only cold water in the shower. The work itself was nice and easy — tasks were always clear, and we understood the assignments well. Overall, the experience was quite good, but unfortunately the hosts sometimes demonstrated behaviours which caused friction and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. The town is really interesting and it was easy to travel around, also It's perfect for busking. There was a mix of positive and challenging moments along the way.

My experience at the project Garden was amazing! Sophie is the kindest person I have ever met, her place is very cozy, I felt really comfortable during my stay. The work hours are flexible and so are the days off. 100% recommended experience. I hope to see you again Sophie! 😁

What an incredible experience :) I felt at home, Sophie is a wonderful person, with a beautiful heart. I helped planting and harvesting vegetables and preparing the beautiful garden for winter. I also helped with social media. All meals were included and I could use the kitchen at any time of the day. I was able to eat many organic vegetables from the garden and Sophie always made sure to have vegan options for me. I stayed in a private room, which was super cozy. The city has a mystical vibe and it's easy to go to nearby cities. I highly recommend the experience, it was an enriching time!!

My experience was genuinely perfect. Sophie is the kindest woman I know and together with Sally, her mother, they create a beautiful atmosphere of cooperation. The tasks were all related to her garden preparing the beds for the next season, days with physical work but totally rewarding. I recommend it to all those who enjoy contact with nature. Glastonbury, furthermore, is a gem of England that pleasantly surprised us.

I had a lovely time volunteering at Sophie's home :) I spent free time exploring Glastonbury with another volunteer & seeing towns nearby. I was the only volunteer for week & a half since Sophie was on vacation, but her lovely 3 cats kept me company as well as Sal & Jerome (who made yummy vegan meals for me). For work I did 5hrs a day with 2 days off, gardening, cleaning, and making bread. I had a room all to myself which was really nice and cozy. Glastonbury is a really special town like no other place, very magical. I would stay with Sophie again :)

I liked this place and its special and caring hosts so much that I came back a third time! It was interesting to get to know the garden during different seasons. Each time it is a different place and a different work. Once again, I was very well received, it was a pleasure to be back. Something I haven't mentioned yet is the city of Glastonbury. It is a very special place, with a unique atmosphere, a place of healing, where pilgrims from all over the world come to visit. Once again, I recommend it!

So, where can I start? Sophie is the most wonderful and lovely Person you will meet! She made me feel at home from the moment I entered her house. I felt very welcome and the others always made sure I was ok with the tasks and that I had a good time! It is not too much work, so that you can still enjoy the beautiful surroundings and landscape in your free time! Absolute recommendation :))
