PRETTY DARN ORGANIC
Hi there AND WELCOME TO OUR GARDENS.
I prefer couples but if there`s a guy or pioneer woman, who knows how to use weed wacker and work hard, its ok too. (it`s more fun to work together!). I prefer folks at least 25 yrs old who love gardening and living together in a collaborative way.. it 's nessecary to have some experience in DIY and gardening as I dont have tons of time to always reteach gardening. And to know the difference between a weed and an iris ....
I need clean, responsible folks that know about serious weeding, gardening, and helping around the house cleaning and whatever is happening seasonally; stacking wood for the winter, pruning, harvesting, putting up jams, watering and help maintaining the place in general.
I really care that helpers care about their personal hygiene, and are aware of their effect on the space that they share and occupy.
Guys need to know how to use tools ,weed wacker ( wiper sniper, strimmer..) and other tools for heavier handyman work, or if you`re two women with strong pioneer tendencies! Everyone has to do dishes and clean up after themselves. I have volunteers to resolve problems , not recreate them or create more work for me!
I prefer a stay of at least of 3 weeks ,there`s lots to learn here and after a week you`re just getting into the swing of things.
We have a 3 hectars ,a bed and breakfast and a music festival that takes off in june.
We have 2 dogs, chickens ,ducks, lots of flowerbeds, organic veg gardens, fruit orchard, jams that flow all summer and fall and a very cool Etruscan cave and amphitheater where we hold a festival each summer.
I always need help, as the place is big and in intense vegetation given the Etruscan energy and there is always
yes , I repeat ALWAYS, much to do on all levels, big and small ; projects, maintenance, picking up what gets pruned, feeding animals cleaning chicken pen, and anything I cant get to in a short 24 hr span!.
I don`t want to babysit and prefer folks who make hay while the sun is up, morning is precious especially when its hot in the summer months.
I`m a good cook, hence you work hard but eat really well, and its not only all work and no play, the area is great, and I take my guests and helpers seriously.... to the lake, the sea, and as part of the family.
love to know your star sign....
The lodgings are a proper room or loft , with a clean bathroom. I really care that where you sleep is also kept clean.
I`m also a musician, and need more time to do that, so there you have it!
keep in touch this winter, although the busy time is feb to nov....
We have internet that`s mostly dependable....though I like seeing people who read, converse, play cards and starwatch... so I know theres non spongy brain form OR COUCH POTATOEING .....We do have a pool for off times.
PS Need to have personal insurance, though we are also insured. thanks!

Help
We're on a 3 hectre property with lots of fruit trees, some chickens, flower beds and a great veg garden. We go from spring cleaning to planting to harvesting to leaf gathering for the mulching method, and well, it's like painting the golden gate bridge.....I need responsable and clean helpers and honesty about using machines like blowers, strimmers and chainsaws.
