The Experience

Help building a food forest garden involves preparation of the soil, selecting garden green material, chopping it for composting, mulching, biochar and, when it’s ready, taking it to the ground where weeding, mulching, drilling and digging can take place. Watering, grass/hedges cutting, improving walking paths are also part of the garden maintenance. Pool maintenance, painting, technical works can also take place at the working hours.

I really enjoyed my time here. I felt very relaxed, learned many new things, and met people from all over the world. It was a great experience, and I'm very happy I had the chance to be part of it. I will truly recommend it, mostly if you want to chill and calm the mind.

I truly enjoyed my time at Lombos Garden. This experience gave me the opportunity to learn more about healthy habits - for both myself and the planet. The work can be demanding, especially if you choose to work extra hours during the week in exchange for having Saturdays off. But aside from that, my experience was very positive. I had a wonderful time exploring the Algarve with Pujari, Luisa and the other volunteers, and I especially enjoyed all the meals and late nights tea drinking we shared together. I would definitely recommend this experience. Thank you again!

Being in Lombos Garden has been such a rewarding experience for myself. I learned a lot about agriculture, composting and connecting with the food you consume. It's a place in which I believe you have to be committed to the project's goals and ethics. Have fun and enjoy being around nature and going to the beach every other day! It's a wonderful place to connect with oneself and with other volunteers. Some days can feel that's it's really hard work beacuse of the heat, but as you continue you see the place changing and I think it's really rewarding ❤️ Lots of love to everyone in Lombos Garden

My time at Lombos Garden was special. Beautiful project to learn permaculture, compost, biochar, planting trees and conscious living. The countryside makes it authentic: nature, starry skies, sunrises, sunsets and a magical Blue Moon. On my days off, I explored the Algarve by walking. I loved the morning yoga and the moments when volunteers cooked for everyone. It was very nice to share these moments and my passion for cooking. Creating photos and social media content for them was also very meaningful because the place and project are truly inspiring. Thank you Pujari. and Luisa. I'll be back!
