Join our family cultivating herbs and making a self-sufficient garden in Holzdorf, Germany

Details

• 

  Description

  We are a small family (2 adults, 1 child) with a dog, a very big garden and meadows and woods in the direct vicinity.
  
  While the garden is a wild, beautiful paradise already, it is projected to move further towards self-suffficiency and becoming a forest garden.
  
  
  Your tasks may include: ground maintenance, helping with the gardening, the harvesting of herbs, planning and implementing a forest garden, chopping wood, cooking, child-minding, and whatever else is happening at the time.
  
  
  We have an opening for females or couples.
