  Description

  In May we need help in the garden
  in July: I would love to build a pizza oven in the garden Wicklow, Ireland
  
  We are a husband and wife. Both gardeners. We have a 3 acre garden in Wicklow, Ireland and mostly work at home as we have a lot of projects ongoing in the garden and house. I work with herbs and love teaching. My husband is a Arborist, he has planted many unusual trees and plants on the land therefore it is a great place for learning. We host Wellness Retreats here in the house and garden and this normally happens on Sunday's. Wicklow is known as the garden of Ireland. We have many beauty spots and it it a great place for hiking and swimming in rivers.

There are some lovely classes in Roundwood like Set Dancing and the local pub has a great traditional music session on Sunday for 5 to 7.

  Help

  We have lot of garden work to do. You will need to be strong. We are making some improvements and we need extra hands to help us. There is some work that involves moving Stacking wood as we are thinning our woods, moving topsoil, planting, weeding, painting and repairing sheds. Our garden is a very beautiful place to be so this is the big bonus. if you are interested on caring for the planet you might learn a thing or two here.

  Accommodation

  We have a big bedroom with two beds. If there is another person as a workaway you would share. The room is very comfortable with a couch and tv. I would not mix male and female workaways and it would be very clear if you were sharing. There are busses, but you would need a lift to the bus stop, which I would be happy to do.

  What else ...

  Wicklow is a great place if you love nature. There are lots of beautiful lakes and mountains. The bus is close by and we would drop people to the bus, Dublin is an hour away of you want to go to the city. Deirdre has lots of knowledge about great places to visit.
