    ============

    update:

    We are looking for end-of-year gardening help from about 29th Oct through Nov.

    Please write, I can't wait to get to know you 🥰

    =============

    There are different indoor/outdoor projects to chose from:

    In spring and summer there's always lots to do in the garden - cutting trees, seeding, planting, watering, fertilizing, harvesting...

    During the winter months there won't be much gardening, so the tasks will be more in the house - tidying, organising, cooking, renovating..

    There are also many different longer projects to chose from, if you plan to stay more than 2 weeks. Depending on the time of year, the weather and your skills, experience and preferences - there are for example upcycling furniture, painting, woodwork or repairs.

    The workawayer should have experience living with cats and understand safety issues around pet care or be willing to adjust to the requirements quickly.

    We are a small shared-house-community with a vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes and 2 cats.

    We also welcome help with housework and preparing meals or the transport of furniture, as one of us is temporarily handicapped, meaning that every day tasks or bigger projects can sometimes not be accomplished by us.

    We're into crochet and crafts and I was quite excited to see that many of you travelers enjoy this, too.
    We enjoy yoga in the garden and paddle boarding on the nearby canal and swimming in local lakes - in the winter we're more indoors or go to the local pools or Saunas.

    One of us is part of the international basic income movement and the German "Prüf" Movement for freedom and democracy and we always welcome activists for social equality and similar issues.

    Our house (built in 1933) is in a suburb of Hannover about 15 mins from the main train station. We share bathrooms, common rooms and kitchen.
    You can borrow a bike and the paddle board. We speak German and English.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We've had housemates and workawayers from Australia, Turkey, China, Germany, Iran, India, Marocco, Nepal, Greece, Japan, Pakistan, Uganda, France and Nigeria before and are excited to make new acquaintances. I've had some experience meeting people through the organisation "Servas". I've lived in England, Australia and Thailand. We're open to share our culture with others and learn from yours.

    You can learn a bit about growing your own food, in "Mischkultur", or, if you are an expert yourself - educate us further. 😊
    We are planning to start raising chickens next year, so we would be happy to share this experience.

    Our little road is quite friendly so you will likely get to know the neighbours. Our place is near the "Mittellandkanal" and as soon as the waether gets warmer again there's the opportunity to go stand up paddle boarding.
