  Description

  Hi, Im Ziggy. I have a large house with an even larger garden on the countryside near Stavanger. The house was owned by a old couple who spent their life making this property full of flowers, fruits and vegetables, and making it their own. I'm finding a lot of joy in getting to learn more about the life cycle of this garden, and what to do, when to do it, and more than anything, I'm enjoying to eat food that grew outside my living room. I'm still in the process of learning to know this patch of land, but so far it's a great and rewarding experience. Besides being fun, it's also quite time consuming.
  
  Since I have this big house for myself, with 3 floors, and plenty of extra bedrooms, I want to find someone who wants to help me grow, and keep this beautiful garden in shape, and to make it blossom even more. I'm eager to learn more, so if you already have experience with gardening/growing vegetable, that's a bonus, but a positive attitude towards nature, and being outside goes a long way.
  
  Stavanger is a great base to explore the region, with the beaches of Jæren, and the hiking opportunities of Ryfylke (like Pulpit rock, Kjerag, and many, many others. I am an avid surfer, and spend much of my time out in nature, with trail running, split boarding, and hiking.
  
  If you think this sound like a fun project to contribute with, I can provide both food- and accommodation + local knowledge to other outdoor experiences in this region. Im expecting approximately 4 hrs of work a day, 5 days a week, so there would be plenty of time to also explore the region.
  
  Best,
  Ziggy
