Description
My name is Paulina, I'm 44 years old, originally from Poland and now living in in Andalusia in the village Bolaimi, near Velez Rubio (Almeria, Spain ) with my husband and two sons. We run an eco art gallery with privet permaculture garden, all in upcycling mission and guest rooms for artists, writers and travelers. We have a private garden near and produce vegetables only for our own consumption - family. We don't sell our vegetables from the garden anywhere. People who come will help only for private needs.
We used to be residents of a big city - Warsaw. 4 years ago we sold everything we had and decided to try life in the mission Eco and slow life, we chose a small village near the city of Velez Rubio. We bought a small farm - old Andalusian houses and land. We live, quietly, attentively and ecologically, enjoy every day, appreciate the delicious vegetables from the garden, the sunshine, valuable, funny conversations with smart people.
We are full of humor and enthusiasm to create our project. Our permaculture garden of about 1000m2 with vegetables and insects.
We are not hippies. We are conscious people who, after years spent in the big city - consciously chose to live in the countryside and a small town to enjoy life.
Currently we need help with the garden: weeding, planting, watering ect. During the holiday - only in the morning 7am - 9am, and in the afternoon/evening 18 -21 p.m. Remaining time to explore the area, relax in our art installation area - hammocks, tree house. We have bicycles to borrow. Local town - offers cultural and musical events every few days, to include a tour of the Renaissance Castle and prehistoric paintings, historic streets and local bars. and a large municipal pool in a nearby town.
Our farm is located in a beautiful area surrounded by mountains, with spectacular views and a natural pond with mountain water (where you can take a dip and cool off). The town is 12 km away, along a beautiful mountain road.

Help
At the moment I am looking for one or two helpers with their own transportation (car or van).
During the summer I prefer a version of helping 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon - due to the hot weather.
We offer: 1 meal / lunch or dinner per day and coffee from the our coffee machine + baguette with our olive oil in the morning. We care about helping in the garden (permaculture) mainly it is about watering, weeding, planting, controlling the compost pile - keeping the garden and flowers around the house clean and tidy.
We depend on positive people , with good energy, smile and humor. Who will help us with the work of the garden but also be able to spend time in nature, explore and enjoy the climate of Andalusia.
