  Beschreibung

  Tim and I have started a brand new permaculture garden on half an acre surrounded by native trees, sea and mountain views. We are looking to grow all our own organic food; veggies and fruit.
  I just need someone for a few days between May 11th and May 16th. You would be staying in my home that looks over the famous surf break at Whale Bay. I am sorry I can't accept anyone outside of those dates atm, unless you have a camper van
  My partner Tim and I used to own the Raglan Backpackers and Raglan Surfing School, so we love meeting people from all over the world . We have both traveled a lot ourselves so will like hearing your travel stories.
  My passion is organic gardening, and Tim's is surfing. We both have studied meditation, yoga and alternative health. We would love to welcome you to our beautiful little eco town.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Raglan is famous for all its cool eco initiatives, many of which we have been part of. I am happy to introduce you to these organisations or tell you about them. Also keen to share info about growing your own food and how to grow really healthy plants (eg compost making, seed cultivation).
  I am also part of the local community garden, farmers market, and crop swap. And a cool thing called Timebank so happy to share info about these too.
  And Tim can give you the low down on anything water related! like where to surf and on what tide.
  And in your time off there are lovely beach and bush walks right from our door. We have a bike we can loan you to get around, and I am happy to take you to town for shopping (we're an 12 min drive from the centre of town, along the coast where the waves are :) )

  Arbeit

  I would love some help in the garden. We can work together so you don't necessarily have to have had a lot of gardening experience. We will be weeding , mulching, pruning, planting out seedlings, maybe a bit of cleaning inside my house, that kind of thing.

  Raglan is so much fun! Loads of water sport options (surfing, kayaks, paddle boarding , all for rent in town). Town has lots of interesting cafes and shops, its the home of over 50 artists so there are plenty of art galleries to explore. Theres an great skate park, and a good music scene with live music each week.
  I am happy to pick you up from the bus stop (catch Hamilton -Raglan bus) and bring you for shopping trips, and we have a bike to borrow during your stay, or hitch hiking is very common in Raglan. its a great way to meet locals!
  As you can tell I just love Raglan, and hope to share any local knowledge I can.
  We tend to work in the mornings at the garden, and the afternoons you can make the most of surfing Raglan's famous points, walking the beach, hiking the mountain, that kind of thing. Or head to town (very common to hitch hike here if you don't have a car) and explore all the cool creative shops and art galleries Raglan has to offer
  Any questions, please just ask, cheers, Suz and Tim
