  Description

  We are a couple of 56 years and 66 years young. We own a small meditation centre near Bruges were we give coaching, massage and workshops. We love to cook healthy food with biological ingredients. That's why we want to transform the garden and be able to use it to its fullest potential. Our goal is to eventually create a small permaculture garden, to grow all sorts of edibles for our own consumption. We live in the countryside with a dog, 2 cats, and 4 chickens.

  Aide

  Mostly we would like help in the garden, depending on the season and the weather for example, weeding, mowing the lawn, pruning, mulching, watering the plants, digging, making compost, harvesting fruit and vegetables, feeding the chickens... If you love cooking, you can choose to prepare the diner yourself or we can cook together and share recipes. We also need a hand with cleaning and maintenance in and around the house. We are flexible and open to honest communication, that means you'll usually have some choice in what task to do or project to help on. We don't ask help with any tasks relating to the meditation centre.

  Autres infos...

  This is a good place if you like being in nature. If you like going to the city, you have to consider we live rather remotely. Bruges is approximately 12 km away, you can get there by bus (there's a 20 minute walk from the house to the busstop). From Bruges you can take the train to Gent, Bruxelles, Antwerp, the beach (Oostende, Knokke...) The picturesque city Damme is 10 km away with beautiful bicycle routes. You can also do nice walks in the neighborhood.
