Description
We're new homeowners in our 30s (along with one roommate also in his 30s and a small non-allergenic dog), living in the cute northern Californian town of Petaluma in Sonoma County.
We are looking for some gardening help! Our home is walking distance to hikes, kayaking, and wine tasting in town. Petaluma is in the heart of wine country so we would love to go wine tasting with you or help you set up an itinerary if that interests you. We're also just a hop skip and a jump to San Francisco, the redwoods, and the coast.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our home is an old farmhouse in Petaluma, a 10 minute walk to downtown where you can find tons of amazing places to eat and drink. We're in the heart of Sonoma wine country (not to mention a ton of breweries!), 30 minutes to the gorgeous coast, 45 minutes to San Francisco, and 45 minutes to the Russian River, Armstrong Redwoods, and just a crazy amount of gorgeous hikes.
Our home consists of 3 adults—all of us in our 30s. We enjoy making dinner/grilling together, exploring new places to eat or drink in town, and going on hikes. We'd love to include you in any of those things! We often chat in the kitchen and are happy to help with English learning. We are all work-from-home entrepreneurs and can additionally help you with building your own website and setting up a new business.

Help
We recently bought our first home a year ago and have mostly finished fixing it up on the inside, but we haven't had a chance to tackle the garden yet! We'd love some help with getting the weeds under control, setting up a veggie garden, planting some trees, and maybe even building a deck or pizza oven! We would also be up for some help with occasional dog-sitting if that interests you (we have a small non-allergenic one).
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Beginner
Accommodation
You'll have a private bedroom with a queen bed, as well as your own private bathroom with shower. We haven't done this before so don't have a set way we would do food, but we would be up for providing breakfast materials for you to make what you like and then we'd make dinner for you 5 nights a week.
Internet is super fast and there are lots of coffee shops nearby if that's where you like to work, and the bedroom also has a small desk.
What else ...
We have a small non-allergenic dog who loves cuddles. Our home is really near public transportation so it is very easy to get around.
