I had the most incredible experience at this garden! The warmth and hospitality from Martin and Vanessa were beyond compare. The way they've organized the place is truly impressive, all geometrically thought out. I never felt lacking anything. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn so much here. I can't miss mentioning Paddy and Inca who are the most adorable dogs in Bretagne. This visit will always hold a special place in my heart, and every moment was an absolute pleasure. Many thanks to you.

I don't have words that are fair to describe how good our first experience as volunteers was. We take a lot of learning about self-sustainability but above all we take great moments shared with Martin and Vanessa. Working with Martin was very enjoyable. He was flexible when we needed some time to do another activity, very patient to explain each of our queries. Vanessa was always attentive to our needs and each meal that she prepared was even better than the last. It also helped us a lot to practice our English, which was somewhat rusty. We will miss them. !

Vanessa and Martin are two amazing human beings. Living with them was very easy, they are lovely and super fun people. We learned a lot about permaculture, self-sustaining living and MAGIC. We enjoyed delicious food made by Vanessa and great stories told by Martin. It was our first volunteer experience and we couldn't have picked a better one. We are very grateful to them for letting us into their home and life and we will surely miss them. We hope we have been useful and that you have enjoyed a little of our "Matecito" Thanks for everything! Juan & Maylén.

Vanessa and martin, the sweetest people you'll ever meet!. When you work (wich is not heavy and hard work by the way) you will always be laughing and sharing thoughs and life stories with martin. You will learn a lot about how to take care of the plants, seeds, also the benefits of herbs and all types of fruits and vegetables that they have and so much more. It's a nice place to be away from big crowded cities and spend time next to a lot of nature, animals, and there is a lake 10 minutes biking. You will have a good time like i did, this was my first time volunteering and it was a great!:)

The project is a perfect place to spend time in the heart of Brittany's countryside learning about farming, gardening and how to play with two lovely dogs. You couldn't ask for better hosts. The food is fantastic, the work is never more than an hour here and there, and the house is a home away from home. If you enjoy being in nature, morning coffees and exercising your green fingers, this is the place for you. Thank you to Martin and Vanessa for a wonderful time!

Martin and Vanessa were the nicest, sweetest and loveliest people I could encountered. I learned so much from both of them, every single day there was a new topic I could learned from both, all of it such useful information and always a book about it that Martin would let me borrow. They were always checking if I was feeling well or if I needed anything, helped me with a lot of things specially to heal. Words are not enough to thank them for the lovely time I spent with them. I already miss you, the sheep, the chickens, Paddy, Inca and last but least Vanessa's amazing cooking.

Martin & Vanessa are wonderful hosts and two of the kindest people I know. I helped Martin with the gardening and general tasks and we had lots of great chats over tea and coffee. Vanessa is lovely and cooked delicious farm fresh food. Martin shared his wisdom on energy, vibrations and no-dig gardening. They had two bikes for use, and I rode to nearby towns and a lake in my free time. If you enjoy being in peaceful nature, I would highly recommend this experience.

It was a beautiful week with M&V, they welcomed us like family. Coffee time + nice talks were the best! They're a fun couple & there's a lot of love + peace between them & all the animals, especially the two lovely dogs they have. They taught us to cultivate the land with an ecological conscience & respect the natural environment, valuable theories about agriculture, farm animals, countryside life, sustainability & self-sufficiency. We eat delicious and very healthy; everything from the orchard & proximity. The place is peaceful and beautiful surrounded by fields. Wonderful experience. THX :)
