    Help

    Our grandmother is old and needs help, which we're arranging ourselves. However, many things are falling by the wayside. We're currently converting the garden to permaculture. The garden is 1 hectare in size, but most of it is meadow. Help would involve gardening or helping around the house. There are tasks for everyone here. Don't worry, our motto is "Good, but with the necessary composure..."

    Unsere Omi ist alt und benötigt Hilfe. Welche wir selbst regeln. Jedoch bleibt vieles dabei auf der Strecke.
    Wir sind im Umgestalten des Gartens auf Permakultur. Der Garten ist 1 ha groß. Jedoch der größte Teil ist eine Wiese.
    Arbeiten wären Gartenarbeit oder Hilfe im Haus.
    Hier gibt es Arbeit für jedermann.
    Keine Angst, unser Motto ,,Gut, aber mit der nötigen Gelassenheit, ,
