  Descripción

  We are a retired couple. After working around the world for 35 years we have settled in the eastern part of the Netherlands. We have bought an estate of 25 acres where we have built a energy-neutral home. We are now embarking on creating a permacultural garden\forest.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  You can learn about permaculture and about Dutch culture. There is a fairly large city at about 10 kms away (Doetinchem). There you can find a good cinema and a theatre.

  Ayuda

  Help with planting and creating the permaculture garden. This is ongoing, there is always an odd job here and there, cutting hedges, sowing, weeding, harvesting.
  
  We have put up a fence around the garden to keep roedeer, rabbits and hares out. We will need to lay irrigation to/in the garden. None of these are great and lengthy but all in all there are enough tasks to do to keep a few people bussy. Digging for the irrigation will be done with a machine.
  
  To make space for the flower-garden we have made different pastures to keep our pigs. They are truly happy in the forest. We now need to plant flowers!
  
  From May 2026 till September 2026 we will be building a studio, all materials either wood or somehow reclaimed.
  
  Another project is to re-arrange the books in the library. This room still needs some work, mainly painting.
  
  There is always something to do in a garden!

  This is a highly popular area for bicycle tours. The landscape is very diverse, mostly flat, suited for a push-bike (which is available). In the vicinity there are a number of castles, some of which date back to the early 1300's. Some of these are open to the public, others open up their gardens.
