Help Exchange Gardening Volunteering
If you think the carrot has mystery, (though not so much that flowers are essentially tarts; prostitutes for the bees), then check out these help exchanges. From stately homes to alternative lifestyles green fingered volunteers will find their efforts can earn them a meal and a bed.
There is no shortage of work for gardeners listed on help exchange websites. In fact, it’s fair to say a great many listings have an element of garden work to them. Applications to the projects below will require paying a small membership fee.
Help us rebuilding our house in an oasis at the edge of the Sahara desert, Morocco
Gardening plays a minor part in the help needed here by Said but we thought many denizens of the soil will enjoy the cultural experience offered here. Previous volunteers have said they were able to experience the authentic Moroccan lifestyle to the fullest. They also described the work as both enjoyable and laid back despite the challenge of growing organic vegetables and fruits on the edge of the Sahara. Said belongs to a big Amazigh-Tuareg family. They recently settled down in a village, in a 200 year old mud house, after living a nomadic life in the desert. Brick making, dog walking and donkey care are other work that needs doing.
Non-profit, sustainable market and pedagogic gardens in Montcenis, France
When he returned from hitch hiking around the world for four years, including stints volunteering in Africa, Asia and South America, this host helped to create an eco village hosting ten volunteers a year. His latest project is a non profitable association centred around a hectare of land to teach children and adults gardening, using wild plants and living an ecological lifestyle with minimal money.
Help build a tiny home from reclaimed materials and establish permaculture gardens in an off-grid community in Tasmania, Australia
Travellers will get to experience the unique joys of living in a remote, beautiful, off-grid community where Arana and Nick are finishing their tiny house. They are building a little cob cottage and establishing a new garden and orchard in line with permaculture and syntropic principles. They expect four hours of work a day which leaves plenty of time for leisure activities and fun. White water kayaks, sea kayaks, bikes and bushwalking equipment may be available to borrow.
Sustainable garden and forestry in Habach, Germany
If there’s trouble at mill it will be no concern of yours. Employed farm workers will take care of that. But help is appreciated by this simultaneously cosmopolitan and rural family in their small subsistence vegetable garden. Draft horses will be your co workers here.
