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)

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.

Languages spoken

danish, english, german

Accommodation

I have 2 nice rooms with a sleeping matress in each. So you can close the door if you need some privacy:-)
I will be cooking every evening, mornings and lunch i will put some nice danish bread, cofee, spreads, vegetables and fruit on the table.

What else ...

Visit the wild seals in the natural reserve, the sea, the artistic island of Møn, take a bike ride or sail in my kano.
