Description
Hey, my name is Johannes, after 7 years as a host on workaway in different places I'm back where I started. There's still a garden I run already about 10 years and a new garden since 2021. The garden is a mixture of permaculture, food-forest and just wild biotope, I work without machines and try to intervene as little as possible.
I could need help in the garden, collecting and preparing the fruits or nuts for drying, but also making wood or making construcions in the garden. A treehouse would be also a nice project.
I live together with my parents who are both classical musicians. My father is a singer and teacher and plays piano, my mother plays fluit and does a lot of handcraft, especially with whool.
I am interested in vegan raw food diet and eat mostly plant based, my parents eat almost everything but prefer organic food.

Besides gardening and how to make a beautiful market stall I can teach you German and show you how to learn an instrument, especially piano and cello. From my parents you can learn singing and spinning or knitting, but also book binding and other handcrafts.
