WTMG website

The Welcome To My Garden platform is intended to enable citizens to offer their gardens as free camping spots and to enable slow travellers to use the network while travelling. An account can therefore only be used for these purposes. Any use of the account for the sole purpose of enjoying a commercial advantage is strictly prohibited.

1.4 The account information must always remain confidential

It is not allowed for any other person than the actual person who created the account, to use this account. The person who created the account must ensure that (s)he keeps the password and login details safe. We strongly advise you to use a 'strong' password (a password with a combination of lowercase, uppercase letters and numbers). We advise you to use a password manager. Welcome To My Garden can under no circumstances be held responsible for any loss or damage incurred to the account if the above conditions are not met by the user. Welcome To My Garden cannot be held responsible for theft of your account, by 'phishing' for example, either. Welcome To My Garden will never ask its users for personal data such as a login or password via email. If personal data is requested, the user will always be redirected to the platform of Welcome To My Garden. You are responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account and accept all risks of unauthorized access.

By adding your garden to the platform, you acknowledge the general rules of the platform which are as follows

2.1 No income

Welcome To My Garden is a not-for-profit network of citizens offering free camping spots in their gardens to slow travellers. Therefore, no income should be made from it. Offering a garden against a fee is strictly prohibited and the platform reserves the right to delete a host’s account permanently if it happens.

Users must be at least 18 years old to use the platform. By creating an account, users immediately agree to the terms of use of Welcome To My Garden.

3.1 Contacting the hosts

Hosts should solely be contacted to request a stay in their gardens. Any misuse of the platform may result in the suspension or deletion of the user’s account.

3.2 Obligation to contact hosts beforehand to request a stay

Users are obliged to contact the host beforehand to request a stay, unless the host has clearly stated on their profile that this is not necessary. Users should always pass on accurate information about themselves.
