Enjoy urban gardening in downtown Vancouver, Canada

Detalhes

  Descrição

  I have a lovely organic garden in the heart of downtown Vancouver. I take care of my mum when she visits Vancouver from late Spring to late Fall. She is very capable so it’s more like going for walks with her or working out at the gym with her or cooking together with her. We live in the gorgeous West End and Yaletown neighbourhoods of downtown Vancouver and I’m only a 30-second walk to the beach and a 3-minute walk to the world-famous Stanley Park. My mum also lives in downtown Vancouver when she visits.
  
  The two neighbourhoods are adjacent and it’s a 20-minute walk along the spectacular seawall to her place from mine, and vice-versa. For reasons why this is probably the best neighbourhood in downtown Vancouver, you can ask us for the link to the article. The article is called, “ Why the West End is the best neighbourhood in all of Vancouver” and you can find it on DailyHive.
  
  Currently for June and July, I have most needs for housekeeping and gardening assistance. Additional skills that would be appreciated include website building and electrical skills.
  
  We usually wind down starting 10:00 pm and have lights out and quiet time starting around 11:00 pm at the latest in the Summertime. Breakfast will be served between 7:30 and 8:30 am if you’re a breakfast person. Lunch is usually between 12 noon and 2 pm, and dinner is served around 6:00-7:30 pm during the Summer months. Sometimes we only prepare two meals per day if people aren’t hungry. For recreation, we can play tennis, workout at the gym, play poker and board games or just watch a movie or tv shows. We also enjoy great conversations over a beer or a glass of wine.
  
  For May 2025 to September 2025, I only have shared spaces because it’s a very busy time of the year in Vancouver with many requests. It’s is suitable especially for couples or friends who are travelling together.
  
  Please be mindful that unlike WA in rural areas, space is at a premium in urban areas so kindly be aware of how much space and privacy you need for your mental and physical wellbeing and comfort. We want you to feel safe, comfortable, and happy so you can thrive and grow when you’re with us. We want you to have an epic and memorable time in Vancouver!
  
  Because the city is so beautiful, we would like to encourage WAers to go sightseeing instead of just staying at home. We would encourage WAers to take at least 2 hours in the afternoon or around 1 hour in the evenings during the sunny months of May, June, July August and September to explore the city instead of just staying at home the whole day. This will allow you to enjoy the beautiful city and refresh your mind.
  
  We would appreciate stays of at least 1 month though exceptions can be made for 2 or 3-week stays. It does take time to learn and adapt to each other so 1-week stays are too short. Also, for the Winter months (i.e. from October until April), I could use WAers in Whistler, BC in case anyone wants to do a ski season at Whistler. This past season, I had Workawayers stay with me for more than 5 months in Whistler also where I gave them WA opportunities and paid work as well.
  
  In Summer of 2025 we might do road trip to Okanagan (e.g. Osoyoos), Tofino and Victoria, Squamish and Whistler, and Alberta and even Yellowstone. We would take our well-deserving WAers with us. To be discussed if you are interested.
  
  It has been an amazing experience so far and I hope to connect with more exceptional WAers and create great memories together. I hope you and your friend(s)/partner will feel safe, happy and comfortable in our homes so we can all have an awesome time!
  
  Thanks for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to Supernatural British Columbia and our family!
