A wonderful space !!
500 meters from the sea and 20 centimeters from the oasis of Vendicari
The
Vegetables Garden
In the heart of our location,
the garden is the main activity of our project.
Aubergines, tomatos,”the old cabbage”
(cavolo vecchio), broccoli, peppers and “tenerumi” (sicilian
special zucchini blossoms) are the main species that we grow.
Each member who takes part to the project can grow
up and use the veg garden’s products directly on the spot concerning
the project.
Of course the harvest will be shared between all
the members, cooked and eaten in our location.
The
panorama bench
We placed a small bench on the border between our plane and
the Vendicari Oasis where we can enjoy a stunning sunset and we feel so
lucky and blessed to enjoy this great opportunity. It's the ideal place
to think and meditate.
A place to simply hang around, fascinated by the
fantastic view of the oasis.
You can easily find all the information about the
Vendicari Oasis, visiting the following website:

The Micro Theatre
A tiny theater built by the board members can host shows and meetings,
discussions, elaborate and plan new ideas and works toward the success
of the project.
Camping
Area
In the refreshing shadow of the pine trees and just next
to a fascinating “wall” of zucchini blossoms’ vines,
stand the area to camp. We have just 4 place in the entire area, but we
cannot host more people because of the limited pipe lines service.
The aromas garden
In the West corner of our location, there is an area conceived for relaxing
bivouac moments and for aromatic plants and herbs.
A small terrace to chill out, sitting in front of the
oasis, surrounded by parsley, sage, chillis, thyme, mint and rosemary
plants.
Wc and services
In the East corner of the location, you can find a huge
handycrafted shower, built with recycled tiles on the walls and an equipped
corner for cooking, with a coffee machine and a double cooker as well.
There is also a standard size fridge and a water point for washing.
il bottone
Enjoy our really unique solar “panel” which allows us to get
hot water to the showers.
A 300 meter tube which contains 180 liters of water became
a huge “wool ball”, able to sneak through a needle or a button.

The
compost Toilet
Everyday, we do a “meeting campfire” to create and pick the
ash. What do we do with that? We use it to transform our organic waste
in fertiliser.
Wood’s ash alkalines human feces in order to throw
it in the compost bin to turn it into fertiliser.
The
waste
Handling of the waste is one of the main keys of the project that means
producing ZERO WASTE which is the best goal we can achieve.
However, we created for extreme need, a corner for diversifying and recycling the waste where we can collect separately cork or aluminum stoppers in order to reuse them and give them new life through our project’s activities, such as creating curtains, structures and decorative elements, using our own waste.
Behind our recycling corner, we have our compost bin which is used to throw organic waste and trasform it in a good fertiliser to grow and transforrm it in our veggies.
