Help
It's important to be clear about the responsibilities involved and the conditions for participation. Here's a summary of the key points:
Tasks: Volunteers will be involved in a variety of tasks including DIY (Do-It-Yourself) skills, picking flowers and herbs, weeding, mowing the lawn, moving compost, preparing flowers for the dehydrator, and packing them.
Flexibility and Independence: We are looking for volunteers who are flexible and can work independently. You should be self-motivated and adaptable to the tasks at hand.
Safety Gear: Volunteers should have appropriate gear, including waterproof clothing, sun-protective clothing, and good boots for outdoor work. This is important for your comfort and safety.
Physical Work: There is physical work involved, so volunteers should be prepared for this aspect of the tasks and be fit enough.
Duration: The minimum stay required is 1 month, and the maximum stay allowed is 3 months.
Visa and Health Insurance: Volunteers should have the necessary visas (if required to work in Luxembourg) and their own health insurance. This is important for legal and health-related considerations.

Accommodation
Accommodation: Volunteers will stay in our house along with my husband, James. There is space for two people, and they will have their own bathroom.
Kitchen and Meals: The kitchen is shared, and we will provide all the food for the volunteers during their stay. Volunteers are expected to assist with cooking and cleaning up afterward, following a designated rota.
Dietary Considerations: We are unable to accommodate vegan dietary requirements, or fasting because everyone cooks, eats and works together.
Outdoor Space: There is a garden with a small terrace available for use.
House Rules: The house is strictly non-smoking, and we do not accept smokers. Additionally, animals are not allowed in the house.
These details provide a clear picture of the living conditions and expectations for volunteers who stay with us. It's important to establish these guidelines upfront to ensure a smooth and harmonious living and working environment for everyone involved.
What else ...
Luxembourg has free transport so you can go and explore the most beautiful forests and lakes free of charge. There are also many beautiful vineyards in the South of Luxembourg and castles dotted all over the landscape.
