  Description

  Are you seeking a peaceful spot in nature to unwind? Do you want to learn more about how to grow organic vegetables? Join us at our expansive our garden in Herzberg (Elster), nestled approximately 1.5 hours away from Berlin, Leipzig, and Dresden. Here, you can engage in hands-on activities, breathe new life into old items, watch your food grow, and relax by the campfire in the evenings. These are the joys that make us happy – will they make you happy too?
  
  What We Offer:
  - Accommodation: A scenic parking spot for your van or a space in our charming Glamping Tent
  - Work Exchange: About 3 hours of help per day with gardening or renovation projects in exchange for your stay.
  
  You Can Look Forward To:
  - A Vibrant Garden: Our garden features fruit trees and some space for relaxation
  - A small community: We are 3-4 people in our thirties, a dog, and occasional visits from cats. Since we commute between Berlin and Lüneburg, we aren’t always on-site.
  - Facilities: We provide electricity, an outdoor kitchen, a garden shower, internet, and a compost toilet. Life here is very simple and peaceful
  
  If this sounds like your kind of adventure, we would love to hear from you. Let’s create joyful experiences together and make our little paradise even better!
