1. Describe your project, your place, and its inhabitants (including animals):
We are a small plant nursery on the west coast of Scotland, supplying trees, shrubs, perennials, vegetable plants and vegetables to local communities.
2. List the activities that WWOOFers will participate in and what you want to teach them:
Taking cuttings and plant division, potting on plants, helping to maintain and keep the garden tidy, growing vegetables in our raised beds and polytunnel, and management of our oak woodland, including helping to make new paths. Helping with our small flock of chickens.
3. What could a WWOOFer's day look like at your site (time slot for participation in activities, expectations...)?
Starting around 10 am, mornings spent around the display area, re-stocking and making new plants, or potting on existing ones. Moving plants around so that seasonal plants are highlighted. After lunch, afternoons working in and around the garden and woodlands, mainly on general maintenance.
4. Play the guide! Talk about your own hobbies (music, cooking, etc.) and those possible around (hiking, swimming, etc.):
