Details
Description
I have a strong interest in local plants and their medicinal properties and there is an opportunity to learn a lot about the local plant unique life around. We help to a group that develop a seed bank which will preserve biodiversity and make seeds accessible to everyone.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Help with Eco Projects
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
For walking enthusiasts we are just two km from the GR7 walking route and close to many very interesting local routes of all grades from casual to high alpine walking. The town of Orgiva has a very international feel with lots of colour and has many cultural activities. There is a bus which runs from Orgiva to Granada and to the coast.
Help
I make natural products using local curative plants and endeavor to use my land to grow these medicinal plants. You need to be physically fit to help gather plants from other nearby small holdings, assist with planting these on my land, maintaining and watering them. This involves digging and clearing small areas to create raised beds to further enlarge this production. I work closely with neighbouring small holdings and sometimes we help each other, you will gain experience in these shared exchanges of labour as there are different s ways to work the land. There are occasionally other small maintenance tasks to do, so if you know how to use a saw, hammer, screwdriver, sander and paintbrush you can help.
Carpinters related to olive wood and cooks interested in organic food and medicinal plants are very welcome.
There is plenty of freedom on making your own project.
