Interesting or nice about this vacancy
At De Blije Bodem, we offer a volunteer position with broad possibilities: as a young project, we are still fully in the development phase of setting up the regenerative self-harvest garden. Just a fifteen-minute bike ride from the center of Groningen, we are attempting to transform a severely damaged piece of land into a green oasis that everyone can come and enjoy. We grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers, but are also creating seating areas and other structures. As a volunteer, this allows you to contribute to both the physical construction of the garden and the care of the plants alongside the gardener. We appreciate it if you have your own idea to set up or create something in the garden. One of our goals is to establish an educational garden; therefore, there is always something to learn here. Not only from us, but we also love to learn from you!
The garden is designed as a public, regenerative self-harvest garden. In short, regenerative means that we want to invite a piece of land with little (soil) life to bloom again, thereby creating a green oasis in the city. The public and self-harvest aspects of our garden ensure that, during your work, in addition to contact with our team, you also come into contact with the broad group of participants and visitors to the garden.
Tasks and duties
We are looking for a carpenter who enjoys helping us build structures. Think, for example, of compost bins, nice seating areas, wood storage, growing tables, and much more.
Skills and qualities
The ability to independently design and execute safe and sturdy structures. What is needed is determined in consultation, including the design/construction plan if necessary. We work with reusable materials as much as possible. If you enjoy sharing your knowledge and skills, building is also possible in collaboration with other volunteers or by organizing a workshop.
Additional information

About Stichting De Blije Bodem
Stichting De Blije Bodem is a regenerative self-harvest garden in Groningen. A 4,500m² food garden for local residents featuring pesticide-free fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers. We believe that local and as healthy as possible food should be available to everyone. Our gardener grows all the vegetables, and our participants then harvest what they need themselves. We work with a solidarity payment system; anyone can harvest fresh vegetables regardless of their budget. We aim to provide healthy food to up to 200 people. We pay close attention to supporting and maximizing biodiversity; we are turning a depleted piece of land into a green oasis in the city. The garden is fully open to the public; everyone is welcome to come and enjoy this beautiful place. Education is an important part; we are happy to share knowledge and hope to inspire new generations, from vegetable cultivation to restoring complete ecosystems and reconnecting with oneself, nature, and others.
