wwoofer - Joachim

 

 
Joachim, a young Catalan traveller stayed three weeks in February/March this year.  Disenchanted with his work in tourism and driven by a desire to reconnect with nature, he arrived with great enthusiasm and motivation.  He spent his time productively reading about different aspacts of permaculture, building a greenhouse from pallets, helping out with vegetarian cooking and working on the land.

The first volunteer to diligently take notes ... on
permaculture, herbs, rocket mass stoves and so
on .............



Brushcutting  brambles in preparation for planting
willow for basket making ....

The beginning of the pallet greenhouse project - here
Joachim works with a couple of visitors from
Paris.

 
He spent quite some time levelling
the six display pallets ....
