Volunteers wanted at De Bloeipleats!

On our old farm site, we are experimenting with permaculture, offgrid living, increasing biodiversity by creating an edible landscape and building a diverse, close-knit community. 

At the Bloeipleats, there are all kinds of things to do. Examples of common tasks include:

• Working in the gardens, removing weeds, pruning
• Sowing, transplanting, harvesting and processing
• Maintenance work and odd jobs
• Cleaning up and preparing activities

Once every fortnight, there is a volunteer day on Fridays. At 9:30 am, coffee and tea are ready and the day's tasks are discussed and divided. At noon, we have lunch together. There is often soup or something else tasty to go with your own brought lunch. 

Want to start later or go home earlier? No problem! We think it is important that you can make a contribution that suits your schedule and energy level!

De Bloeipleats is an inspiring place where nature, people and sustainable living come together. We believe in making things more beautiful together.With us, you are welcome to help build projects, learn new things and experience a close-knit community that is there for each other. Everything you do makes an impact!

We will have gardening tools, gloves and boots. Just make sure you put on clothes/shoes that are allowed to get dirty. In addition, our site is offgrid. The only utility available there is drinking water. So you can just drink water from the tap, but not charge phones/bikes/cars, for example. 

We are looking for you if you like to contribute something to a better world (big or small) and enjoy working outdoors. And are open to discovering new people, ideas and experiences.

We do not ask for a fixed/structural number of hours in terms of commitment. However, we do appreciate knowing in advance if you are coming.
