Garden staff

Doarpstûn Snakkerbuorren is less than five minutes' cycling from the Vrijheids neighbourhood on the north side of Leeuwarden. The village garden grows organic vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit and there is a forest area. The garden is intended as a place of relaxation for young and old, with fun as a central theme. Fruits, vegetables and flowers are offered for sale throughout the year, the offer depends on the season. The foundation also organises cultural activities in the garden.

We are looking for volunteers to help in the garden. Ideal for students and anyone who wants to learn about plants and sowing and harvesting. Back to nature. The garden has a relaxing atmosphere with valued colleagues. Work at your own pace or also with each other. It's all part of the picture. We are looking for garden workers who like to roll up their sleeves. Tasks may include hoeing, weeding, harvesting, pruning and helping where needed.

Some 70 volunteers work in the garden and some sell our products in our shop. Proceeds from the garden are again used for garden maintenance to buy seeds and planting material. We have large grounds with several greenhouses and covered facilities for our tools and supplies. We also have a Talking House for consultation, meetings and for various activities. There is also a kitchen area and toilet facilities.

Gain experience in crops and plants and the associated work.

Volunteers who enjoy working with a team of other volunteers, for at least 1 half-day at our beautiful organic garden!
