Catriona and Tim stayed for three months. Eager to start work as soon as they arrived. Every task set was undertaken and I (hope) they enjoyed their stay here. They both worked well individually, together or as a team and always brought sunshine and smiles to everything they did.

Our first Workaway experience was fantastic. John was very accommodating. He let us stay in a caravan which was our own private space, whilst we worked on our van at weekends. We had all the amenities we needed in the caravan provided. If we ever had any queries or questions John got back to us quickly.

We stayed here for 7 weeks and we feel as though we could work here for months! The work is straight forward, pretty easy but it does get hot in the greenhouses so be prepared to wear some loose clothing.

Megan's stay with us was great!
She worked with us for 5 months getting stuck in to every task and adapting to every situation, whether it was clearing old crops, preparing new planting areas, she helped us with planting, crop work and weeding. An eager, motivated, hard working part of the team in all weather conditions.

Good, chilled place to work with friendly people that made the experience a memorable one. Johns easy to get on with and has a chilled attitude which is a great change to most jobs I’ve done. Overall the work was easy, managed to listen to a lot of audiobooks and ended up saving a lot of money in a short time. Recommend 👍

We had a great time hosting Connor at the nursery. In the two months that he stayed, Connor was committed to every task and very friendly. Hardworking, thorough and compulsive, Connor was a great addition to the team and they all miss him already. HIs aptitude and dexterity will be sorely missed!

Was the perfect place to ride out the end of lockdown, nestled in the Lea Valley national park the surrounding nature is beautiful plus central London is a short train ride away. John is a very fair boss and while the work can be a little tedious, it is not difficult and is interesting. Great place save some money- cheers John and all the best!
