Description
We are a home garden established in the intermediate climate zone in Sri Lanka. Our garden contains mini reservoirs and rain gardens, following ecological principals and sustainability. Further we would like to introduce our place as a model proposed to combat climate crisis. It is a model where nature, community and sustainability blend together with gardening and outdoor activities. As a Workawayer you can get hands on experience about sustainable living, and eco conscious gardening then enjoy nature and try out our delicious Sri Lankan food, while learning a lot of new skills. We invite you to be a witness of our enchanting gardening project which will be a new inspiration of sustainable and eco conscious living. At the home, We are a couple who live here permanently and there is another 2 ladies for cooking and gardening. Usually we all spend time in the garden with our friendly dogs and cat. It is a simple, nature connected lifestyle which is calm and peaceful. So the guests will be treated with the best hospitality by us.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying with us will be a great opportunity to explore the semi- rural life and culture of Sri Lankans. Our workawayers will witness and participate the traditional village life which include farming and gardening. Also, the cultural and religious events usually take place, including performances of traditional Sri Lankan music and dance. We are located 30 min away from historical landmarks of ancient Sri Lankan kingdom which is easy to see the remains of Sri Lankan cultural and historical evolution.
Help
We love to connect with workawayers who are interested in gardening related tasks, like maintaining garden beds, weed control, watering the plants, grooming vanilla wines, pepper picking, hedge sheering... etc. Instead of those, we need help for enhancing garden aesthetics with the help of workawayers, woodworking, painting or any other specific skills are valued.

And, for beach lovers, Negombo is 50 min away if anyone wish to sit in a pub while tasting a cocktail and listen live instrumental music and songs by the beachside or have a delicious seafood or westernized dinner.
