Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, on the
Community Garden Volunteer Project in Romania.
You will assist at a community garden and greenhouse that provides fruit and vegetables for people in need. Volunteers will gain agricultural experience, learn about traditional Romanian gardening practices and be able to explore and implement sustainable practices and ideas that could improve the garden’s productivity and impact.
Volunteers are accommodated predominantly in one of two neighboring volunteer apartments. The smaller apartment accommodates up to eight volunteers per room. The larger apartment with three bedrooms accommodates up to 19 volunteers. Rooms are always separated by gender. The accommodation is based centrally and is a 10-minute walk to the local team’s office, close to many cafes and restaurants.
Programs
start every first and third Monday of the month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 1-24 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
Your Impact
As a Community Garden volunteer, you’ll have a crucial role in the upkeep of a community garden and greenhouse that provides gardening space for locals, especially those with large families, to grow their own fruit and vegetables while their children use the playground. These families often live in large multi-storied block houses and have little access to green spaces or childcare.
The specific tasks you’ll undertake will depend on the time of year and needs of the project, but can include helping with :
- Watering, planting and harvesting fruit and vegetables
- Creating eggshell powder and using wood ash to add nutrients back into the soil
- Maintaining and upgrading the rainwater collection system
- Compost maintenance
- Refurbishing the solar heat collector
- Lawnmowing and general grounds upkeep
