Description
We are a small, creative household in the charming town of Sangerhausen, located just south of the Harz mountains. I’m Rosa (38), living in my grandparents’ house where we host Workawayers. My mum Birgit (64) and her husband Jürgen (68) live next door, and my two lovely cats Luna and Gaia live with me.
Our home is spacious and cozy, with a music room, a library full of books, and lots of room for creative projects. We are developing a permaculture garden and a small food forest, and love to live in harmony with nature.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying with us is a chance to experience life in a small German town and explore the beautiful Harz region. We love sharing gardening knowledge, cooking together with fresh ingredients, and exchanging ideas about sustainability and permaculture.
Help
We are looking for kind, easy-going helpers who enjoy nature, animals, and helping with their hands. Your tasks will mainly include:
Helping in the garden (depending on the season – planting, weeding, mulching, harvesting)
Light household tasks like tidying, cleaning, or organising
Caring for Luna and Gaia when I’m out
You’ll help around 3–5 hours per day, weekends off. No special skills required – just a willingness to learn and be part of the household.
