What we do

Summerton Gardens is just getting started.
Have you been dreaming/reflecting on ways to scale down to a simple land-based life style?
Summertown Gardens just might be the place you’re looking for.
Come join us and help build this new community.
The initial direction that we feel called to is:
Integrated Ecovillage based on sustainability principles; Multi-generational, but more towards senior living; Cohousing, co-living permaculture homes that are cost effective, energy efficient, etc.; Common buildings and areas; Visitor and rental cabins; Sites for Tiny Houses; Business endeavors that support the community and produce outside income; Permaculture food systems, including aquaculture; Cooperative purchasing and shared use of tools, equipment, etc..
Summertown is a small town in a relatively rural area, but close to cities that provide essential needs not provided by the community.
It is close to “The Farm” and several other established Intentional Communities, as well as Amish/Mennonite communities with the usual farm products, saw mills, trades.
The area seems to be attracting more and more people interested in this life style.

Bioconstrucción de TALLER con carpintería de armar

La Escuela de Bioconstrucción Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucción durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (Algatocín – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpintería. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciéndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pórticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organización grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ Aquí somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mínimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. Tenéis a disposición un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, también hay una yurta según las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportación de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacérnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a través de: bi*************************@***il.com
