Beschreibung
My husband and I built a eco friendly house in 2006 and have been developing the gardens since then. We have a large poly tunnel, an outdoor vegetable garden, fruit bushes, an orchard, flowers, wild areas, permaculture and structured hedges and many trees on our 1.5 acre site. It is a garden to be peaceful in, to have fun in, to move mindfully in and to wander and wonder at the beauty of nature in. Two cats, two goats and one sheep keep us entertained - the goats and sheep are “eco strimmers”! There are also hens and bees to keep us busy.
We also have 2 adult college going children in their early 20s who may be with us during part of your visit.
We are self sufficient for a lot of the year in vegetables and I love to cook so you can expect healthy, delicious meals during your stay.

Arbeit
Help is required with gardening - digging, planting, weeding and harvesting - all depending on the time of year. We have an ongoing need for trimming hedges, tidying of flower beds and occasional strimming. From time to time we have small DIY projects to be done about the garden - the ability to use small hand tools would come in handy.
