Description
My partner, Kurt, and I live on 8 acres, and enjoy all that the mountains around us have to offer. We enjoy and would like to share with you both motorized and human powered experiences that you can enjoy while here. I have started a mound garden for my vegetables and need some help with the last couple steps as I am not as young as I once was and the weeds don’t seem to care. They are still coming in strong. Some help getting the yard and garden started for the year would be a much appreciated trade for your time at our place. You can either stay in a room in the house or in our 26 foot travel trailer. Hope to meet you soon.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I was a teacher and can help you continue to improve your English skills. We can show you some amazing places and outdoor experiences that few have seen but all have loved. You can also learn gardening skills and basic carpentry skills. We have six kids but all except our 21 year old has moved out on their own there is lots of opportunity to experience family life in Canada.
Projects involving children

Help
If you like getting your hands dirty, helping me dress the mounds in my garden with soil and hay. Then help weed and get flower gardens cleaned up and add nutrients to the beds. General yard cleanup type jobs that are made easier with help and love to see the fruits of your labour, then this is what you are looking for. It isn’t all hard work as slow and steady will do the trick.
