Detalhes
Descrição
Our names are Steven (60) and Patti Reade (57). We run a small greenhouse operation with 7 greenhouses in which we grow annual hanging baskets, bedding plants and vegetables starters.
Most work is done inside a heated, dry greenhouse. We need help to fill containers, transplant seedlings, sort tags, and general cleanup of buildings and area. We mostly need help in March, April and May and June.
We had an amazing first year with our workaways, most of our helpers stayed 2-3 weeks longer than planned. We are very easy going hosts, we have lots of laughs and fun.
We have 6 children and 4 grand children who visit regularly. For those with allergies, we should mention that we have a dog and a cat.
We are on the outskirts of town, but arrangements can be made to pick you up from the airport or train station.
From the Moncton NB Airport, we are about 1 hour.
From Halifax NS Airport, we are about 2 hours.
From the Train Station:
Halifax: 2.5 hours
Sackville, NB: 20 mins
Amherst, NS: 20 mins
Moncton, NB: 1 hour

Nancy stayed with us for 2.5 weeks and we enjoyed every minute of having her! She is very friendly, fun and can certainly go with the flow. We found Nancy to be very responsible and she has tons of common sense, she was always willing to do any task we asked. I highly recommend Nancy as a workaway. Good luck girl, I miss you already!

Our stay at Patti and Steven's was fantastic! It was our first Workaway, and we are so glad it was here. They are really funny and welcoming people, the work was very relaxing, and they are excellent cooks :). It was a lot of fun and we were sad to leave!

We had a wonderful time with Patty, Steven and their family. We ended up staying for almost twice as long as we had originally planned and were made to feel so at home from the moment we arrived.

We feel very lucky that Nicole chose to stay with us. She is an exceptional worker and often worked far longer than what was expected of her.

Good luck in your travels Nicole and have… read more

We could only stay 10 days with Patti and Steven but we really wish we could have stayed longer. Since day 1, we felt like part of their great family. Every day, we couldn't wait for the dinner - I mean, "supper"! - which was always rich in laughs and discussions about everything. We even went to a bonfire organised by their daughter and had a… read more

My stay at Patti & Steven was great! They are a really relaxed couple and will quickly integrate you into their adorable family. The work in the greenhouses is easily manageable, most of all when you like flowers. I had so much fun with Patti, Steven and the rest of the family that I acctually miss them already ;-)

We loved having Leslie stay with us. She fit into our crazy family easily and helped with everything from the greenhouses to house cleaning and babysitting.
She is a good worker and dependable, always smiling. Her being a vegetarian was not a problem, she looked after her own meals. I would definitely recommend her as a helper.

I have really enjoyed my time with Patti and Steven. They are very welcoming, and working in the green houses is very peaceful. They are also very close to several tourist spots/interesting places to see. I would definitely recommend their home as a workaway position.

Patti and Steven are a very funny, generous, and welcoming couple. You'll have a lot of fun staying with them! The work is easy and the house is next to the ocean. So there are lots of possibilities around how to spend your freetime. Famous touristy stuff like bay of Fundy, PEI, fossilcliffs etc. is not far away. I would definitely recommend them!
