Enjoy urban gardening in downtown Vancouver, Canada

  Beschreibung

  I have a lovely organic garden in the heart of downtown Vancouver. I take care of my mum when she visits Vancouver from late Spring to late Fall. She is very capable so it’s more like going for a walk with her or working out at the gym with her or cooking together. We live in the gorgeous West End and Yaletown neighbourhoods of downtown Vancouver and I’m only a 30-second walk to the beach and a 3-minute walk to the world-famous Stanley Park. My mum also lives in downtown Vancouver when she visits and I’m in the West End. The two neighbourhoods are adjacent and it’s a 20 minute walk along the spectacular seawall to her place from mine, and vice-versa. For reasons why this is probably the best neighbourhood in downtown Vancouver, you can ask us for the link to the article. The article is called, “ Why the West End is the best neighbourhood in all of Vancouver” and you can find it on DailyHive.
  
  We usually wind down starting 9:30 pm and have lights out and quiet time starting around 10:30 pm at the latest. Breakfast will be served between 7:30 and 8:30 am. Lunch is usually between 12 noon and 1 pm, and dinner is served around 5:30-6:30 pm. Sometimes we only prepare two meals per day if people aren’t hungry.
  
  For May 2025 to September 2025, I only have shared spaces because it’s a very busy time of the year in Vancouver with many requests.
  
  Please be mindful that unlike WA in rural areas, space is at a premium in urban areas so kindly be aware of how much space and privacy you need for your mental and physical wellbeing and comfort.
  
  Because the city is so beautiful, we want to encourage WAers to go sightseeing instead of just staying the whole day at home, we encourage WAers to take at least 2 hours in the afternoon or around 1.5 hours in the evenings during the sunny months of May, June, July August and September to explore the city instead of just staying at home the whole time.
  
  Because I have so many requests, please let me know in your first message the following:
  
  Please share with me what you (and your partner/friends you’re travelling with) would need to thrive, feel comfortable and safe.
  
  Do you mind sharing a room with another WAer? How tidy and organized are you?
  
  Would be helpful to know of your dietary needs, restrictions or allergies also. Feel free to let me know what are your favourite dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don’t mind if you’re vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore, and I can eat meat or just vegetarian food. I probably cannot accommodate omnivores with vegans or the other way around. It’s just too much work for me to cook separate meals and it gets too busy in the kitchen with people cooking different foods.
  
  Optional information could include how you’re detail-oriented or how you have strong work ethics.
  
  We would appreciate stays of at least 1 month though exceptions can be made. I usually find 2 to 3 month stays to work best because it takes time to train someone and for my mum to connect with you. Also, for the Winter months (i.e. from November until April/May), I could use WAers in Whistler, BC in case anyone wants to do a ski season at Whistler or Cypress. This past season, I had Workawayers stay with me for more than 3 months in Whistler also where I gave them WA opportunities and paid work as well.
  
  This summer we might do road trip to Okanagan (e.g. Osoyoos), Tofino and Victoria, Squamish and Whistler, and Alberta and Yellowstone. We would take our well-deserving WAers with us. To be discussed.
  
  It has been an amazing experience so far and I hope to connect with more exceptional WAers and create great memories together.
  
  Thanks for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to Supernatural British Columbia and our family!
