Gardening and outdoor work at care farm Soulhorses vzw
Description
Soulhorses vzw is a care and experiential farm with horses and other animals. They provide care and support to vulnerable people through equine-assisted coaching, day activities, and educational days for children and youth. This is done in an accessible way, following the rhythm of seasons and respecting what is needed or happening at the farm.
Given the large property and the many tasks, they are very grateful for the extra help with various gardening and farm work outdoors. In September, there is plenty of work in the vegetable garden. A fence around the horse pasture needs to be replaced, a brushwood hedge needs to be created in the pasture to attract other and smaller animals, along with many other tasks.
We provide adapted work so that everyone can comfortably contribute.
