The experience

We seek a self-starter Gardener to manage our kitchen garden: planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting. Located in central Romania, 24 km south of Fagaras, our property spans over a hectare with a creek and a wooded forest. We run a small leadership school for students to develop missional and entrepreneurial mindsets, with a "True Education" curriculum focused on Gardening, Construction, and Business.

Program Details

We are looking to attract early risers (or those who wish to start new healthy habits), nurture optimism and positivity, seek harmony, be empathetic and think of how we can serve each other, lift one another up, hug often, ultimately form a community of "Doers" fostering an entrepreneurial spirit. I believe that love originates from God and so I invite God to be present with us throughout the day. We do ask that you help us maintain our culture by keeping the atmosphere peaceful and conscientious of noise levels (we prefer volunteers use the opportunity to detox away from devices when here). Ultimately, just be kind. Help contribute to a community where Heaven's angels would want to visit.
