Description
My name is Jano and I am 21 years old.
I am a trained gardener and it is my dream to expand my horticultural knowledge abroad by combining my love for travelling with my great passion for plants and gardening. I aim to explore gardening while also learning about new cultures in the process.
Through my apprenticeship in gardening, I found my great passion and I want to continue to learn more about the cultivation of plants. I grew especially fond of propagation and started to tend to my own garden which I have completely transformed with ornamental beds and a vegetable garden. There is just no better feeling than enjoying a freshly prepared homecooked meal with fruits and veg from your own garden.
In the previous year after finishing my education I got to do some travelling and got inspired to work abroad. I want to broaden my knowledge of plants and gardening by exploring different places around Europe and observing the native flora.
It is also my goal to inspire other people and help them create their own gardens and get them to fall in love with gardening the same way I did (if you haven’t already). But in case you already have a functioning garden I would be happy to do some maintenance jobs while hopefully exchanging some knowledge about plants and how to grow them best.
I would also really like to gain some practical skills regarding handy work, I promise I am a quick learner.
What I love about gardening is that it is hands-on work. I am fond of working outdoors and experiencing the changing seasons through gardening. I find it thrilling to observe the positive environmental impact gardening can have on wildlife and biodiversity.
I would love to meet creative people and learn some new languages and skills while hopefully teaching you a thing or two as well.

Thank you for kindly welcoming me in your lovely home!
I had the best time in Engeløya thanks to you. I loved our little adventures exploring the mountains, the beaches and especially enjoyed the picking of blueberries and foraging for chanterelle. Not to mention the breathtaking kayaking tour.
