Organic Vegetable Gardens at Sieben Linden Ecovillage (8 months) in 2027

Opis

Organic Vegetable Gardens

Being outdoors and growing food for the community will be your daily task. As you start in spring you will experience a full growing season, from the seedling to the harvest. The garden team grows more than 50 different types of vegetables, fruits and herbs using different growing techniques and a variety of tools that you will learn.

Organic Vegetable Gardens + Fruit Orchard

Aside from the vegetable garden, we have some Fruit Orchards where we produce different varieties of apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries and berries. If you choose this placement, you will work some days in the vegetable garden and some days in the orchard. The main tasks of the orchard are pruning trees, cultivating, mowing grass and preparing trees for harvest, harvesting and storing of fruits.

Interested in getting your hands dirty and working with your whole body?

Smještaj, hrana i prijevoz

You will be part of the group of young volunteers called JuLe (German for “young people”) and live together in one area of the village (“JuLe-Platz”) creating your own living space together with shared caravans and kitchen. One afternoon per week by a team of experienced facilitators offers time and space to get to know each other as well as permanent young residents. Different methods will be used to work on inner processes and communication including fun and creativity.

Being in a very rural area, there's a bus stop connecting to Wolfsburg and other bigger cities from there.

Osposobljavanje tijekom aktivnosti

German linguistic support is provided as needed by the participants. There's two mandatory trainings organised by the German National Agency, On-Arrival and Mid-Term training. Depending on your level of understanding German language you're also able to join seminars onsite provided by the education centre.
