Description
<<< Update: Our olive harvest has finished for this season. But we still have gardening tasks. >>>
Hello, my name is Mariejeanne.
I'm an elderly English woman who lives in Patras, in the Peloponnese.
I have an organic garden and a small olive grove. Helpers are needed for general up-keep of the organic garden, for maintenance of land and for other odd jobs.
In November help is needed for preparation work for the olive harvest and for the olive harvesting itself.
The accommodation is a self contained studio flat (hot water, heating, air-conditioning), adjoining our House in Patras.
Or at the cottage: 3 rooms + kitchen, hot water and fireplace.
As I'm unable to provide food anymore, I don't expect more then 3 hours of help a day/5 days a week.
The olive grove with a cottage (1min. from the beach) is in a small village (Alissos), 18 km from my house.
We have about 30 olive trees and some citrus trees there.
We go there by car. There is a train and bus service.
Hiking, beaches, coffee shops - all within the area.
All our production is for personal use.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

I spent about 10 days at MJ's place, primarily helping her prepare for the olive harvesting season. The garden was a bit overgrown, so my main task was to clear out weeds and unwanted plants to ensure all the olive trees were accessible for harvesting.
The work required some effort—garden… read more
She accepted our request although it was super last minute and spontaneaus.
We loved working in her magical paradise like garden with a lot of mandarines.
We hope to come back some day :)
It's a wonderful place with many beautiful trees and plants. We will miss Mj and this place we called home for almost 3 weeks.
We hope to come back one day!

We loved our time there, in the big cottage, near the sea, and 20min from Patras. Marijeanne is amazing, she is very kind, positive, smiling, we talked a lot, she was very helpful about everything, available and most of all,… read more
Her garden is a maze of organic fruit and nut trees, herbs and vegetables. Despite being beside a busy road, the vegetation buffers the road noise and the small estate is a quiet oasis.
Her dog Fred is a lovely soft… read more
I got my own flat and two meals (or one big one) a day. The food always tasted very very good. I would have liked to spend more time with her, but because of Corona that was not possible. Nevertheless,… read more
The small olive farm is a dream, here you can really come down and enjoy life again more relaxed. I will gladly think back to the time there. The small beach here is only a two minute walk away.
The garden in town is a little hidden… read more
