Beschreibung
I live on an 8500sq m life style block close to Waitarere Beach, in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The property is just over 1.25hours North of Wellington at the Northern end of the Kapiti Coast. The garden is a work in progress, though now is fully landscaped. The soil is very sandy, so it has taken 8 years to be fully functioning with a fruiting orchard and 4 different vegetable patches.
The main principles used in the planting design are: edible, medicinal, bee / insect / bird attracting, ground cover and drought tolerant. With edibles in particular, I use organic or self-saved and germinated seed.
All dietary requirements met, mostly vegetarian. Not suitable for big meat eaters, but occasional chicken or fish is fine. Much of what I eat is grown on the property.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

There's always seasonal projects such as fermenting, preserving food etc. I am also a master knitter and very happy to teach people these homesteading skills, as well as what I have learned about no-dig gardening and gardening on sand.
Arbeit
There are always seasonal projects, regular weeding, pruning, mulching and mowing.
Autumn / winter 2024, I have a fairly major project coming up to mass plant NZ native grasses out to restore a large very dry part of the property, and another to pot up dozens of self sown native trees and shrubs that have sprung up out of the mulch.
There are also occasional home maintenance jobs such as painting, building infrastructure, landscaping, fixing pumps and irrigation systems etc.
Help with regular house cleaning and cooking is appreciated.Gesprochene Sprachen

Unterkunft
My modern, architecturally designed home is filled with art, and music. It's very peaceful: the ideal place to chill and unwind. I have 30+ years of yoga and meditation practice. You'll have very comfortable accommodation - there's 1 x double and 1 queen sized bedroom, sole use of main bathroom. Washing machine. Wifi / high speed broad band.
Was noch ...
The property is a lifestyle block (8500sq. m) As there is no local public transport, ideally people should have their own transport. However, pick up and drop off to local train services to Wellington can be negotiated.

By prior arrangement - this is a rural area, so owners must have good control of their pets at all times.
