  Description

  Hello and welcome on our profile!
  
  Help us in our garden and enjoy Rheinhessen!
  We never had a workawayer so far, but we would like to host someone and try it out. You could be our first workawayer if you want to. Feel free to contact us!
  
  Us, that means my mum Barbara, her partner Ralf and me (Julia). My mum is a garden queen and knows a lot about gardening. She enjoys being in the garden and she likes to bake cakes.
  Ralf is usually taking care of our chickens. He likes to go hiking or listening to music.
  I am a 20 year old girl, adventurous and I enjoy doing things with my friends. I like animals and take care of two horses (they aren't our horses), do beekeeping and am part of the firefighters. I travelled around with workaway in Ireland and Canada and enjoyed it a lot. As I stayed in contact with some so my workaway hosts, my mum and I just visited some of them in Ireland.
  My mum got some time off from work until September 10 as she wants to do some things in the garden (maybe with you if you like? :)) We would be also very happy to show you around a bit and share our life with you.
  We all like to play card and board games and you are very welcome to join us :)
  
  We usually cook vegetarian meals.
  
  We are living in a village between Bingen and Bad Kreuznach and are easy accessible by public transport. We have bicycles (also one mountainbike) and a longboard that you can use if you want.

  Help

  We are looking for primary for garden help. Garden experience would be great, but it is not necessary. My mum wants to show her garden on an open day, so helping in the garden is one project, nevertheless our garden always looked a little bit wild. You could also help us with cooking or restaurating an old oven if you want to.
  Please let us know if you have previous experience with anything or special skills :)
