  Description

  I would love help from a mature and conscious women who enjoys gardening, painting, cleaning, animal care, food processing and children.
  
  I am a single mom with two children living in a very central location in Nelson, BC. My daughter is 12 and my son is 10. I have the children part time. I will need help with my son while school is out, taking him on bike rides, to the lake, to the skate park etc.
  
  We are committed to enjoying a healthy lifestyle by being active in nature and eating organic, non-GMO, local food. We have a large, organic permaculture inspired food garden. We grow mountain spinach, potatoes, beets, carrots, squash, tomatoes and lettuce. We have many berry bushes (blueberries, red and black currants, saskatoon berries, goose berries) and fruit trees (peach, apricot, plum, apple and pear). Our location is fantastic as we have mini farm only 4 blocks from downtown historic Nelson and 4 blocks from a network of gorgeous forest trails.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We have been actively gardening for 15 years and I have completed a six week Permaculture course. We have been invited to participate in Garden tours because our food garden is so big, which is unusual in the city. I am happy to share my knowledge about gardening and food processing. Nelson is a historic and cultural rich city surrounded by mountains, forests and Kootenay Lake. Nature is our playground!
