Help
We need help for our courtyard, house and garden. We would like to tidy up our barn.
It´s great if you have a gift for gardening, but it´s not necessary. We are happy if you do some weeding, take care of our flower beds, lay out little vegetable patches, do some earthwork like constructing a little terrace with Riccardo, transplanting the compost heap etc.
A little help in doing some housework like cooking, cleaning or washing would be nice.
