Description
Hi! I am a passionate and resourceful teacher and art history researcher. I love painting and collecting textiles: my home is full of colors, brushes and objects (especially textiles and embroidery) collected in local second hand markets, belonging to my ancestors or made by me. I live in a country house not far from the town and malls. The town near my house, Mesagne, is an authentic and lively village, rich in ancient monuments and where it is easy to find good products from local farmer and producers. Beautiful seaside in just 15 minutes driving from my place. Mesagne is easily reaching from Brindisi international airport or from Brindisi railway station. The historical centers and the famous tourist resorts of Puglia are easily reachable by train or bus from Brindisi station. When possible I can give a ride to the station of Brindisi. A bike is available to ride around or reach the village, if the conditions of the road allows. Me and my friend speak English. I speak French too.

Help
I would like to make the garden (about 1000 mq ) around my home beautiful and welcoming. In the garden there are already some fruit trees, Mediterranean trees, flowers and aromatics plants. I would also like to have a small home garden and learn more about gardening and cultivation of the garden. Cause in the morning I’m usually at work, I could give my help only in the afternoon (depending on the time of year) and during weekends, My guest could be able to do some tasks in the morning without me, agreeing together the activities to be carried out. I already have many garden equipment and if it should be necessary, I will consider whether I will need to buy more.
