    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Denman Island has long been a haven for people escaping from busy urban centres. The island is famous for beaches, quiet roads, and beautiful scenery. Yoga is a prominent activity, as is gardening, and volunteerism. Many artists have made Denman Island their home for decades, and as a result there is a thriving local artistic community.

    Help

    Summer is coming and I am looking for help getting the garden prepped and a part of the house organized for rental.

    I would love to have someone or a couple come help April-June (or part there of). The weather is warming up so it is a nice time to spend on island.

    I am a single working mama so finding it very hard to get to these bigger projects. Some cooking and pet sitting would be secondary tasks.

    We have not yet hosted anyone but this feels like the right time! Please get in touch!
