Activities & Shift

Generally Helpx Helpers can expect to work 3 hours per day/about 20 hours per week. Generally we work 5 four hour days and have two days off but they are not always Saturdays and Sundays and sometimes not in a row. It will often depend on the weather (we like to go fishing/boating/camping when the weather is right) and the type of work that is on and we need time to be able to prepare for these trips. So you will need to be flexible regarding days off and occasionally work hours. We mostly try and get the hours done before lunch but it's a lot for us to coordinate jobs to skills levels, supervise and prepare for trips. So we just really just need our helpers to jump in where needed..... If you are really just interested in ticking off your hours when it suits you, this isn't the place for you.

Tasks can include things like potting up plants, propagating cuttings, weeding, digging and
