We want to build a couple of new vegetable raised beds ready for the summer when we will be able to make great food together also help alongside me. Hopefully i can teach you something new .if you are interested ,then get in touch.
Hi all,
I am Garry originally from England, but after many years of traveling i settled in Sweden for 8 yrs, many of these doing workaway. 2 years ago i decided to move again and now im living in South West France just outside Bergerac. Where it's warmer and still have great nature. The garden and the swimming pool are now finished. We need help with gardening, helping cut the grass and cutting plants etc. There is also help with planting our veg garden.
We are about 25 km from Bergerac near Lalinde, just by the river. Bergerac has a main train station and airport. Lalinde has, restaurants ,shopping etc. All you really need.
I look forward to not only working together but sitting around the camp fire exchanging story's of travels and life experience. I really enjoy the cultural exchange of workaway and the company it gives me.
If you are looking to experience the local french culture? This is a great location with much to do of interest. Winery's, chateau's, kayaking on the river etc
I have a love of Art although I have yet to find my favourite medium ?
Back in Sweden we had great fun growing our own vegetables and cooking and preserving then.

Well I can't teach you French but maybe you can teach me?
I can tell you what it's like to live in a foreign country as I have done this several times in the past.
Also about Swedish tradition and way of life, things that swedes take for granted.
Over the Last few years we had people of all ages 18 to 74. From all over the world ! Japan to Mexico and all of Europe!
Many young people who came to stay, were a little lost in life and looking for new people and new ideas, this was really lovely. And we all got on and had a great time learning from each other.
Help
i need help with the garden, and veg patch. No skills needed but a willingness to help with manual tasks, etc. . And gardening

I don't expect you to be skilled in these tasks but just be willing to help out and maybe learn something for your self.

Accommodation
My home has 7 bedrooms. so you will be pleasantly surprised! Depending on how many people are staying at once? Will determine if you will need to share a room or have a room to your self. I like Workawayers to stay about 2wks but if we all get along well, many have stayed much longer and some have returned year after year.
Im vegetarian. I love to cook but at the same time if you also like to cook then I'm cool with that.
All food will be included during your stay (vegetarian)
You can get your own meat, no problem if you like to BBQ etc.
What else ...
From The local train station of Lalinde you can take the train to Bergerac or Bordeaux. or to all the major cities. There are many tourists places close by. If you enjoy walking or biking the countryside, forest and lakes are all around. I hope to soon get some kayaks because we are so close to the river.
drop me a message if you are interested

Garry is a very nice and attentive host, it was really good to spend 2 weeks with him. His house is amazing, in a very beautiful and peaceful place. The work was interesting and not so difficult if you like to work outdoor. It was great also to have time to hike or just chill. No pressure here!!

He has a lot of great ideas how to make the most of the given space and it was really interesting to see what he created (also with the help of former… read more

Sorry I'm late leaving my feedback.
Neo stayed with me in the spring time and we worked great together. I enjoyed his company and he was very helpful with the tasks we did. Mostly heavy building work (movie greenhouse and building decking.) I would definitely invite him back and recommend him to other workaway.

I had a great first Workaway experience with Garry. The work is rewarding and the nature around the area is amazing for clearing your head and having some peace in an otherwise busy world. Garry is a very kind and open person, and I enjoyed our afternoon chats about life and our experiences so far.

Garry is a very friendly, uncomplicated and relaxed person. Working with him really was fun and the jobs weren´t too hard but interesting and versatile. Every day you still have enough time to enjoy the beautiful landscape and to discover Sweden. Garry was helpful at all times and the food was always delicious ;)

Lina came to stay for a couple of weeks. She was great company and helped out where ever needed. She is not afraid of work. We had nice conversation and enjoyed our spare time together. For me she is very mature for her 19 years :thumbsup:. I would definitely recommend her and invite her back in the future.

I stayed two weeks with Garry in Vestra Harg and the time just flew by.

Mika came to us directly from Japan and just for a few days. Suffering from a little jet lag she still joined in on what needed to be done around the property. She did some gardening and painting. Mika also made us a beautiful Japanese meal one evening. I think she was more looking for a place to stay on her 2wk holiday rather than a true workaway… read more

Angel was a joy to have around. All the way from Mexico to Sweden, he showed a lot of interest in the Swedish way of life and the culture. Angel was a great team player and helped out whenever asked. He had no experience in the kind of work he was asked to do but was always willing to learn. I would definitely recommend Angel to others .
