The experience

Stay in a peaceful Berlin suburb and help us redesign our garden! You’ll have two cozy rooms for yourself (living + bedroom), ideal for solo travelers or couples. Kitchen and bath are shared with me, my 10-year-old son, and our two lovely cats. Nature is all around: forest around the corner, lake by bike, yet central Berlin is just 30 minutes away by S-Bahn! If you like, join us for relaxed evenings by the fire or small trips nearby.

Program Details

Help us bring a wild garden back to life! We’re redesigning our outdoor space from scratch. Handy skills or garden knowledge are great, but not required. You’re welcome to bring your own ideas, too! Occasionally, small household tasks may come up. We keep things flexible, creative and cooperative.

Activities & Shift

Most of the work is in the garden – digging, planting, weeding, trimming hedges or building simple things. You can help with flexible scheduling. Some days we may swap in small household tasks, but always by agreement. You’re encouraged to contribute your own ideas if you like!

Rules
