  Description

  Groenendaal is a beautiful, hilly area of the municipality of Hoeilaart, with beautiful old villas and at a 2-minute walk from the vast Forest de Soignes. There I live, together with my two dogs Saffran and Kira, in a spacious house surrounded by garden and forest land of 1.5 hectares.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Through my activities and commitments, the Workaway guest will get to know many new people.
  Groenendaal station is a 10-minute walk away, and the train will take you into the center of Brussels, the European capital, in half an hour. Needless to say, there is plenty to do there.

  Aide

  To maintain the large garden and the forest, I would like the help of someone who is not necessarily specialised in gardening, but who likes some solid outdoor tasks. I'm thinking, for example, of splitting wood or clearing out rampant plants. Indoors, too, there are some clearance tasks on the to-do list. For the really heavy work, there is the help of Ramzan, a Chechen who lives in a cottage in the garden with his small family. As my mobility is currently somewhat limited due to circumstances, I would at the moment really appreciate some practical help in housekeeping as well as entertaining company.

  Autres infos...

  When you come has less importance. In the garden, there is work all year round. But it would be helpful if you could stay for two to three weeks. Given my own age, I am looking for helpers from at least 30 years old. Contact me, and we will find out together what is possible.
