We continued with a big olive harvesting.
There are some pictures related this days, when almost 100kg of olives were harvested.
This harvest was left for a neighbour to add to his harvest on Monday. Lou is delighted with these cold but sunny days in Matarranya!
Also the whole Boodaville team wishes you a happy new year 2024, and looks forward to developing new sustainable projects again this year!

We are also very lucky to participate at a volunteering day in Can Masdeu.

With the photos down you can see what a day of volunteering at Can Masdeu looks like !
Basically, put your hands in the soil, see the growth of your work and enjoy the feeling.
Next, use your hands to create a meal with the vegetables you’ve harvested, accompanied by motivating music.
Finally, eat together in the sunshine and be in a good mood !

Also we really want to say thank you to Looby Macnamara for sharing her vision of life with us.
This month we started reading her book « People and Permaculture ».

It’s very interesting to put words to an abstract concept like ‘permaculture’ and
little by little, we are learning more about its principles.

Let me remind you of the most important ethics of permaculture: Earth care, People care and Faire share.

It sounds so easy and I’d love to see a world vibrant with these principles.

It’s also a lot of fun because we can discuss the book with each other and what it reminds us of.

And page after page, we create new ideas, new dreams, new perspectives.

Then Antonia make a interesting video about drought and dishes and how save water.
As many of you know by know, Barcelona is experiencing a severe drought and officially announced a state of emergency!

It has been more than 1,000 days of drought.
Water reserves have fallen below 16%.
So what can we do individually?

A lot of things!
It’s time to get creative.
To look at our everyday lives and make small changes: Washing up, for example, can be easy and efficient, as this video shows. What are your ideas to combat the drought? Leave a comment below !

Frida post a nice video recap about one month of volunteering in a permaculture proyect.

She explain her feelings : “Yet one month we arrived and I have the impression that we arrived yesterday.
This video is a resume about our reality in a permaculture project.

We vibrate with the rythm of someny things that the time look like very fast.
Also the city of Barcelona is very attractive and there is always something to do or to discover.

We sharing a lot with new people in difences activities like dance, cooking, gardening, music…

I’m very excited to follow the next 5 month like this. Follow creating, discovering, enjoying !
Accompanied always with the three ethics of permaculture, peoplecare, earthcare and fairshare !”

We have a new volunteer ! This time involved in the project Boodaville Caseres.
She tell us a bit about her life since she arrived :
“Hello, this is Pauline
I’m from France and I’m volunteering for Boodaville at a small forest school for 6 months.

This is how everyday life in a permaculture project looks like for me:

Sweet days in a lovely finca, spending time with children in nature, working with wood, singing, having a little cat, and lovely people around me.
Learning about myself and others, living together, and working on communication.
In short, these are the best things that could have happened to me.

So there is a lot to say, but in summary I feel love and happiness and invite you to come and get to know the area!”

Finally Antonia make a great post about the patterns in permaculture.


Unlocking nature’s blueprints: From atoms to galaxies, patterns can be found everywhere and play an important part in permaculture design. Biomimicry, or copying nature’s patterns, is what we as humans have always done and inspires sustainable design for a thriving Earth.
By observing and understanding them, we can learn to understand the principles of natural systems as well as human patterns, individually and collectively.

What patterns can you discover in your life?
