  Help

  We need help in gardening, the kitchen garden, the flower garden, cleaning the house and taking care of the dogs. The focus is only on works around the house and permaculture.
  
  There is no helping required in any space used by paying guests because that is the part that's taking care of by others. You will stay in one of the big bedrooms in our main house with bathroom and toilet. It is not a paid position.
