    Description

    I will always welcome an experienced gardener. Our home is rurally located on a picturesque 340 ha dairy farm and is a bustle of activity. My family consists of my teenage daughter, 3 cats, farm dogs and current workawayers/woofers living with us. I have a beloved rambling garden that struggles to fit into my life!! Private accommodation and plenty of food and wifi.
