Descripción
Our names are Steven (60) and Patti Reade (57). We run a small greenhouse operation with 7 greenhouses in which we grow annual hanging baskets, bedding plants and vegetables starters.
Most work is done inside a heated, dry greenhouse. We need help to fill containers, transplant seedlings, sort tags, and general cleanup of buildings and area. We mostly need help in March, April and May and June.
We had an amazing first year with our workaways, most of our helpers stayed 2-3 weeks longer than planned. We are very easy going hosts, we have lots of laughs and fun.
We have 6 children and 4 grand children who visit regularly. For those with allergies, we should mention that we have a dog and a cat.
We are on the outskirts of town, but arrangements can be made to pick you up from the airport or train station.
From the Moncton NB Airport, we are about 1 hour.
From Halifax NS Airport, we are about 2 hours.
From the Train Station:
Halifax: 2.5 hours
Sackville, NB: 20 mins
Amherst, NS: 20 mins
Moncton, NB: 1 hourTipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

She is a good worker and dependable, always smiling. Her being a vegetarian was not a problem, she looked after her own meals. I would definitely recommend her as a helper.
