    Description

    Hi there!
    We are a family of 7, with 3 children living at home at the age of 5, 17 and 19. Our oldest daughter (25) and her fiancé are living in a separate apartment in our house.
    We live in a small village with the most beautiful nature around us, with lakes and forests.

    Since our oldest daughter is getting married in the garden this August we want to turn it into a beautiful space for their big day.

    We have a big garden and are in the spring building a patio with a pool. We are very into permaculture and are striving to follow the permaculture principles to create our little sanctuary.

    We always want to learn more and would love for someone with knowledge of gardening to come and help us out.
    It’s a big plus if you are not afraid to help out with work on building our patio or maybe have some experience with carpentry or building.

    Our children goes to school and the smallest is in kindergarten. Mom is a stay at home mother and dad is an IT entrepreneur who works from home.
    Out daughter and boyfriend are vegan the rest of us eats a normal diet.

    We can offer a life in an (almost) ordinary Danish family. We can also offer a beautiful nature and a lovely lake to swim in close by. We would also love to show you our favourite places in the area. We are all interested in making nice food from scratch, so if you want to learn we will be thrilled to make an exchange. Mum is a knitter, so if you want to learn how to knit that is also possible.
