The Experience
We are building our small market and permaculture gardens and need extra pair of hands to move forward. Main jobs will be building garden beds and general gardening which include a wide range of tasks, from weeding to harvesting. Plenty of learnings about natural farming practices (biodynamics, electroculture...) We ask for 2 hours of your time each day, weekends are off so you have plenty of free time to explore or get a paid job locally.

Phil & Mel are wonderful hosts ! We have learnt a lot during our time with them - welcomed us with very little knowledge and are very patient. Very flexible with schedules and the location is beautiful! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience Margaret River/surrounds and learn about sustainable the project !
