  • Description

    Description

    We are looking for 2–6 helpers to join us from March to May (possibly until mid-June) to help bring our terraced sea-view garden to life.

    The property is set above the bay with truly spectacular ocean views. Your main task will be to help shape the foundations of the garden: moving earth, creating paths and walls, planting bushes and trees, and preparing the space for future development. This is an exciting project where you can really see the results of your work.

    ⚠️ Important: This is physical, hands-on work. We are looking for experienced gardeners, builders, or strong, motivated people who are not afraid of hard labor. Tasks include earthworks, landscaping, trimming and cutting trees, and general garden construction. You should be fit, reliable, and comfortable working outdoors.

    What we offer:
    • Comfortable accommodation in a fully renovated, high-quality place
    • Delicious food
    • €200 weekly payout
    • Flexible 35-hour work week
    • Access to a beautiful, peaceful natural environment — and yes, even a sauna

    The location is completely surrounded by nature, quiet, and incredibly inspiring. It’s a special place, and most people fall in love with it very quickly.

    If you enjoy meaningful physical work, nature, and being part of a small, friendly community while helping build something lasting, we’d love to hear from you.

    Best,
    Jörn and Dorothea
