Description
Do like gardening and handywork?
We have an allotment with a 200 sq meter garden, in Varberg 10 km from us. We need an independent worker with green fingers and some knowledge in carpentry.
We'll drive you to Varberg by car. But if you feel like taking a bicycle ride in the sun 🌞 you can take one of our bicycles 🚲 There are good bicycle paths going to Varberg.
You'll get lunch pack to bring with you and you'll work in the garden with another workawayer; weeding, sowing, planting and also do repairs on the little garden house.
The garden is in a nice and calm allotment area with a lot of trees, where you can enjoy bird singing, peace and tranquillity.
In the evenings we'll hang out in the house and eat dinner together.
We mostly eat vegetarian food but sometimes meat as well.
You can get into town with bus (25 min) or train (7 min) or you can borrow a bike and bicycle (30 min). You get to Gothenburg from Varberg with train in 40 min.
We live next to a forest were you can go for a walk, listen to the birds and sometimes see roe deer and moose.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Looking forward to meet you! 🌸
Peace ✌️🕊💗
