Help build up a future artist residency and garden project close to beautiful nature in Vordingborg, Denmark

Description

My name is Stine, I am a visual artist and a carpenter, and- lots of other things:-) I am in the early stages of living my dream of renovating a house with a barn and garden to transform it into an artist residency with several workshops and an eco garden full of vegetables, fruit and herbs. The place will in time be growing, a sauna, a chicken house, and several annexes will be build in the future. I love having people in the house and working side by side, creating a magical place together from scratch.
The place is situated in the danish countryside, 1-2 hours outside of copenhagen, and close to a wonderfull "fjord" (a little bay with shallow waters perfect for sailing in my kano-boat). The area is full of natural reserves and forests, wild eagles, seals and half islands. I have bikes here for workawayers to borrow to explore the area.

Working 5 days a week from between 10-15 (or earlier if you prefer)

Types of help and learning opportunities

Help with Eco Projects

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

I am a free spirited multi-artist and I love to share my process. if you feel like it you are free to use all tools if you need to make a project of your own in the free time. I love cooking so nice warm meals will be served everyday.

Help

I would love help establishing a garden, right now its more or less a raw "lawn" and lots of giant trees.
I would also like help with building different stuff, painting, laying stones, building a chicken house and more.
At the moment I am making Hügel-beds (austrian permacultural way of growing vegetables) and I would love help to establish some more.
