Gardener/coordinator

Working together on sustainability

On this page you will find some more information about the volunteer work you can do as a gardener for TCDF Eco-Logic for a period of minimum 3 months or longer.

You'll find a description of the work, what we can offer you and what we expect from you on this page.

Scroll down to read more and contact us if you are interested and need to know more.

If you want to join us for a shorter period of time, you can check the Eco&Kids project.

Inform volunteers on garden work

You will work together with other volunteers and our staff as a team, on:

• Daily maintenance of the farm on our vegetable gardens, fruit trees and flower gardens
• Making compost
• Coordinate the work for the international volunteers of the Eco&Kids project (usually they are very willing, but unexperienced). Inform them and help them with the work.

When making the planning and schedule we will look at the needs of the project, the knowledge, experience and interest of you.

You will work five days per week and you will have two free days per week, on Monday and Tuesday.

Dormitory TCDF Eco-Logic

We expect a special commitment from our volunteers. But it will be worth it, this is what you get in return:

- A free place to stay and live (dormitory style) and three Thai meals per day.

- A beatiful place to live and work: in the middle of the nature, surrounded by mountains and rainforest..

- You’ll get to know Thailand, the people, culture and language in a way you will never experience when you are just traveling. Working as a volunteer is an ideal start of a trip trough Thailand, you will get a lot of knowledge and experience to enjoy the rest of your trip in Thailand differently.

- This is your change to give some back to the people and the country you’re traveling in, like the way the Thai do during your trip.

- A weekly work schedule, cooperation with our professional (Thai) staff, a lot of work and time outside in nature
