The Experience

We’re looking for someone who enjoys being in the garden and has some experience with vegetables. Help us care for our biodynamic garden: plant seedlings, water trees and flowers in the evening, harvest in the morning, manage irrigation, and propagate plants. We love working in the garden too 😁 many tasks we’ll do together, side by side, sharing the joy of growing.

My time spent on Sardinian was beautiful. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. I really enjoyed learning more about sustainability while living on the island. It was a very peaceful 3 weeks that I would definitely recommend.

Gin, Johan & the kids welcome volunteers into their life with open arms! This is a beautiful space to learn about sustainability, community & living a more mindful life. They play beautiful music & show you how to cook delicious vegan & vegetarian meals from the garden. The work is being a part of the community & helping with daily tasks & there is always a task to do in the garden, it's beautiful! Along with other volunteers, Gin & Johan often host other friends & family, this brings lots of life, interesting conversations and interactions! The land is magical, lots of places to explore!

Three words can sum up my month long stay at the community: Ma Che Bella!!! However, I will share more… I would have stayed at the community for an entire year if my schedule allowed. It was not easy to leave the warm, inviting, rich, and vibrant land Gin, Johan, their friends, family, and super dogs are cultivating. Everyone had the patience to allow me to explore my interests and discover where I could grow, learn, and be useful. Sardinia is a magical place, no doubt, and it is made that much better by the love and care this wonderful group of people put into it. 🌎 ♥️ 🥬

Such a great volunteering experience! Gin and Yohan were super welcoming and made me feel at home right away. I learned so many things gardening, construction, cooking, and even some Italian. The atmosphere was really warm and friendly, and overall it was just an amazing experience. I'm very grateful and would totally recommend it!

This was my first time traveling and using Worldpackers and I took a leap of faith and I did it alone. Gin and Johan and their family/friends have given me an experience that I will never forget. From day one I was treated like family. I had so much fun learning the language and the culture. I also had an incredible time helping with their many projects around the house and always making time to play with their amazing children and dogs! I really liked how most mornings we would come together and talk about what's on our minds and how we are feeling. Thank you Gin and Johan :)
