Description
I am a retired horticulturist developing my little piece of paradise to become self sufficient. Getting there. Slowly.
My dream is to empower women by teaching them new skills (carpentry, welding, blacksmithing and more) in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment. I've built the shed for this but there is still work to be done.
Scenic and quiet. Beaches a 7 minute drive away. Heavenly...

I am interested in people and their journeys. It would make me happy to share my skills. We will work together and share skills, ideas and stories.

Help
Ideally l'm looking for a single person or couple to help with gardening , carpentry and other day projects.
We will do tasks together and l would love to share my gardening knowledge and bounce ideas off fellow gardeners. I am learning carpentry but l have a lot to learn so would love some help in that department. I have all the necessary tools.
