Description
If you are over 25 years old and love building and designing a garden, we would love to hear from you. Some projects we need help with include; designing and planting a dream garden, building a bicycle shed, making a treehouse, some painting. If you are good at any of these, we would love to hear from you.
16-20 hours per week of help in exchange for bed and board. You can work two full days and have the rest of the time to go adventuring if you like.
You will have your own separate cabin bedroom outside the house and share bathroom and kitchen facilities with us . Short or long term stay welcome 🙏
We would love to host a chilled out person over the age of 25. Someone who has initiative and is happy to do their own thing. No couples, unless you have your own campervan.
Im Daisy and l live just outside Clonakilty in West Cork, Ireland with my two kids, aged 8 and 4. Their dad lives up the road and we get along very well. I am a muscular therapist and yoga teacher. I also play music and live in a community full of musicians and artists.
