Description
Hello, we are Jannes and Annoeska and we live in our own Lowlands Paradise! That is a wonderful place in a very small village called Lageland (which means low land), just a stone's throw away from the pleasant city of Groningen.
We have a large garden and there are always so many projects to do. Think of weeding lots of weeds, maintaining the vegetable garden, maybe installing a fence, taking care of the chickens, sometimes painting or doing other jobs to make our paradise even more fun.
There are two of us and we both have a normal job in addition to all our plans, so we could use some help.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We will learn you the Dutch habits, foods and hospitality. We are living in the countryside but you can also get to know the pleasant city of Groningen. It is a city with a cosy and lovely center, there live many (international) students and it has a lot of places where to eat and drink. We have bikes available.
Help
We are looking for people who enjoy helping outside, who can and like to work with their hands and are not afraid to roll up their sleeves. Specific knowledge is not necessary, but knowledge about gardening would be handy, but most of all we would like to have people around who respect our property and animals.

Accommodation
In exchange for your help, we are happy to offer you a separate accomodation which is located in the garden.
It is suitable for two people and fully furnished. So you have your own bedroom and bathroom with shower, toilet. There also is a washing machine, kitchenette with refrigerator and hob and also a large covered terrace. We can/will use that together with you, for instance while eating together.
So you will have your own luxurious domain and so you don't have to sleep in our house. Maybe you can eat with us a few days a week, the other days we can ask you to provide your own food.
What else ...
So we have chickens and we have 2 cats. We have also two bicycles available, You can cycle very nice around the area and you can be in the heart of the city of Groningen in about 40 minutes. We are flexible, therefore much is possible in consultation. We attach great importance to a personal click and to the fact that our belongings are handled with care.
