Garden owners might not be home and ready to welcome you at all times. We ask users to contact the garden owner in advance to check availability directly. This should be done by sending a request to the host through their profile. After establishing the initial connection you can exchange contact details, so that you can stay in touch and update your host about your arrival time by email or phone, depending on their preference. When you send a request, provide some information about yourself and about your expected arrival time.

De tuineigenaars zijn mogelijk niet thuis om jou te verwelkomen. We vragen gebruikers om vooraf contact op te nemen met de tuineigenaar om meteen de beschikbaarheid te controleren. Dit doe je door een verzoek te sturen naar het profiel van de tuineigenaar. Nadat je de eerste verbinding tot stand hebt gebracht, kan je contactgegevens uitwisselen. Zo kan je contact houden en je host informeren over je aankomsttijd via e-mail of telefoon, afhankelijk van je hosts voorkeur. Geef bij het indienen van een verzoek wat informatie over jezelf en je verwachte aankomsttijd. -

Respect voor de natuur -
All your waste has to be taken away. This includes pee and poo if there’s no toilet available: find a bush or tree outside the garden for Number One; bag your Number Two and throw it in a bin the next day. Respect nature and the garden owners: apply the Leave No Trace principle as you would if bivouacking out in the wild.

Laat geen afval achter. Dit geldt ook voor je toiletbezoek: zoek een struik of boom buiten de tuin om te plassen; grotere boodschappen pak je mee en gooi je in een vuilnisbak. Respecteer de natuur en de hosts: pas het Leave No Trace-principe toe zoals bij bivakkeren in het wild. -
