Volunteers wanted at the Fruit Orchard Gilze.

Do you like nature, being outdoors and rolling up your sleeves together? At Fruit Orchard Gilze, we are looking for enthusiastic people who would like to help out during our cooperative days in the orchard and self-harvest garden.

What are we going to do? Come and experience nature and lend a hand. Harvesting, pollarding willows, helping shape the compost heap and food forest, transforming the pond into a natural pond, creating a meadow for the goats and sheep, mulching, or doing garden maintenance.

You will learn about ecological gardening, soil building and sustainable food production. No experience is necessary; everyone is welcome.

Working in an ecological and biodiverse orchard
Connecting with nature and with one another
Learning about permaculture, soil health and no-dig gardening
A friendly atmosphere, fresh air, exercise and working together to create something beautiful
