Supporting GOB's Sustainable Gardening Project "Es Viver"

Περιγραφή

The volunteers will help at the nursery garden for autochthonous plants "Es Viver - Plantes de Menorca", a not-for-profit plant nursery specializing in local plant varieties and sustainable gardening to reduce resource use on the island. Different tasks and activities are carried out depending on the time of year. You will be part of a part of a dedicated team with regular volunteers giving a helping hand. Work will be based in the nursery grounds located on the outskirts of Mahon.

Tasks include watering, weeding, cleaning pathways, propagating plants, transplanting, landscaping, creating green filters “wastewater gardens”, assisting visitors and workshops, creating content for Es Viver’s social media channels, assist in delivering sustainability workshops, etc.
