Hortus Cyrenaicus

The support is demanded in the preparation and installation of several garden areas: Berry Garden, Yurt Gardens, Permaculture Garden. We do have about 500 fruit trees that need to be looked after.

There are several options for 2-3 people to work individual or as team together. It would be good, having some knowledge in (ecologic) gardening.

It was lovely to work on the farm, the hosts were welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately the hot climate was not suitable for me and I had to leave earlier than expected but I really wished I could stay longer.
If I were to advise any future travellers it would be to make sure you are suited to hot temperatures and maybe okay with a few bites. For me the lack of air conditioned facilities made it difficult to deal with the heat as someone from a cold wet country. I also react quite severely to bug bites and they are extra hard to avoid if you are immersing yourself in farm work.

My boyfriend and I went to hortus together for about three weeks. I worked on the gardens most of the time and also got to cook for everyone. We met a lot of other nice volunteers from many different places, which made the experience very fun - we hung out together most days after working and played lots of games. Everyone has their own tent/yurt, so you can have some time to yourself whenever you want, and the shared spaces are always open, including the kitchen where you can just help yourself. If you are looking for a real Greek experience, however, this might not be the best fit for you.

This was our first workaway experience and it went pretty well! We were warmly welcomed by Frank and other volunteers, and had a lot of fun during the stay :)
The amazing part of this workaway is the community aspect, everyone you meet is so open and nice. Not the Greekest experience but great facilities, amazing food and cute cats on the other hand!
I would have liked to work on a bigger variety of projects during our 3 week stay, as there was a lot of gardening otherwise I 100% recommend this experience 😊
Very curious to see what this place will become in 3 months, 1 year, 2 years and more

I really enjoyed my time in Hortus Cyrenaicus. Although far from a big city and a bit secluded, there’s plenty of things to do around, like hikes. The hours are very respected and I learned a lot about the use of sustainable materials. We did some gardening and some small construction works. Great place to meet international travellers and connect with nature!
