  Description

  Me and Moris (my husband) live in Geyikbayiri which is very famous as a rock climbing area worldwide in Antalya, Turkey. We have a big garden but we left half of it as wild. There are olive trees, pomegranate, kaki, lemon, avokado trees in the other half. We need help for cleaning the garden, around and between the trees from grass and wild plants. Our house is in the garden and we have also one short term rental hut in the garden. We have two bed rooms at our home, one for us and for guests/workawayers. There is one double bed, one single bed. Bathroom, kitchen and livingroom will be shared. We can provide/share our Turkish breakfast and dinner that we cook for ourselves. We cook usually vegetarian.
  Our place is beside the forest but also 30 min driving away from the beach. Here is paradise for nature and outdoor sports lovers. We care of the nature, always use organic things. We built our wooden house by ourselves and expect the same care from our guests for the natura and wooden house. Moris is a outdoor guide and lm civilengineer. We both like climbing, trekking, traveling and meeting with new people.

  Help

  We need help for cleaning our garden. Our garden has lots of fruit trees. Especially in the spring time, garden is full of grass and wild plants and ivy. We pull them out with the roots if it's possible or some times by garden scissors or pickaxe. Then we collect them with rake and shovel at one place and burn them or make compost.
  We need 4 hours a day, 4 days a week. It can be one or two weeks or 10 days. It can be flexible.
