Description
We are looking for an active gardener who loves to work outside - and can work independently and get the job done.
We have a large garden and sheds which require maintenance, clearing and fixing. We want to begin a vegetable garden so experience with setting up vegetable garden beds is a plus!
We live in a spacious, comfortable, period home in Ovens, Co, Cork which is a beautiful part of the countryside and very close - 8 miles to Cork City.
Our home is surrounded by fields and trees but we are 4 miles from Ballincollig (small town) and there is a regular bus service into Cork City.
We have a dog and a cat which live inside and outside the house.
