An invitation to spend a half-day working with our team in our permaculture produce garden. Learn regenerative growing skills whilst actively contributing to our permaculture projects.

The day is designed to be an enriching experience working with us on tasks ranging from creating living willow structures to building hugelkultur beds, from threshing quinoa to sowing and harvesting fruit and veg. There will be an opportunity for meditation, sharing and nature connection.

At 1pm we will end with a simple shared lunch provided by 42 Acres (think nourishing soup and bread). Afterwards, you're welcome to stay and explore our land or take a wild dip in our lake.
