* comfortable clothes that can get dirty. * comfortable shoes, such as trainers; be warned! they will get dirty. * check the weather forecast before setting off, so you can wear the right clothes for the day.

Do I need to bring food?

In any case, bring your own water. It is advisable to bring a snack, as working in nature makes you hungry. For food after the activity, read the activity communications carefully; we sometimes partner with nearby restaurants or bars, but not always.

Can I bring pets?

It is usually possible to bring a pet, but always bring a lead to keep it on. If this is not possible, we will let you know in our communications.

Is it physically demanding?

No, the activity is suitable for everyone. However, access to the planting site is often a bit rough, so good mobility is required.
