Open Call for Volunteers
August Permaculture Garden Workshops

Hello Gardeners, Xom Bac Cau will be closed from the 16th august, with a big reopening planned on the 13-14-15th september for the Trung Thu Festival!
We plan to use these few weeks to work on the garden design and preparation!

Thematic workshops will be held every weekend, but the garden will be open for volunteers to work everyday, coordination can be done through our facebook group:

Xóm Bắc Cầu - Volunteering

Please note that the workshops are open to everyone and we hope that all together we can build something.
We have land, we have ideas, we have tools and seeds, but the goal is to co-create together! We are happy to have people that know more than us!

If the weather is not convenient to work into the garden we propose side activities for fun - card games, yoga, cooking...

Participation is free, lunch available for 50k
Working hours
Morning: 8:30 - 11:30
