Work Exchangers are also eligible for a vacation during their terms. Vacation time is prorated, based on 4 weeks per year standard. Prior gardening experience is helpful but not necessary. However, a desire to learn and a keen interest in hands-on gardening is essential. The garden work exchange person will be involved in all aspects of gardening, including propagation and greenhouse work, watering, bed prep, composting, transplanting and sowing, weeding, harvesting and seed saving and processing.
Physical stamina is necessary.
We are looking for someone relaxed and comfortable in groups of people, and someone who can routinely manage a broad diversity of challenges at once. We celebrate diversity, are non-sectarian, and are committed to maintaining a pluralistic, tolerant and supportive, honest and open working and living environment. If you have been here before, please tell us about your experience. Please include a work and a personal reference with day and evening phone numbers, if available. If you wish, you may call our office to be placed on our mailing list.
