Help me improve and prepare a tropical backyard for a future small eco-lodge/creative retreat. This is a relaxed hands-on exchange involving gardening, outdoor organization and simple improvement projects. You’ll stay in a local family home and experience everyday Sri Lankan life away from the main tourist areas.
Around 2–3 hours per day, with a flexible schedule. Tasks may include clearing and organizing the garden, light weeding/pruning, planting, composting, cleaning outdoor areas, simple painting/decorating and helping create attractive seating or relaxation spaces. No heavy construction work is expected.
Please be respectful of the family home, communicate clearly, keep shared spaces tidy and work safely. Only take on tasks you are comfortable doing, and ask before using tools or changing anything in the garden. Reliability, a positive attitude and respect for the property are most important.
