    Description

    We are an Irish couple, 45 yrs and 50 yrs young, living in a 300 year traditional thatched cottage on 2 acres, with our doggo. We are very involved in writing and performing music, singing, acting, playing guitar and whatever other instruments we can get our hands on, hiking, travelling, cooking, having fun and enjoying life!
    We’ve been converting an out building into lovely comfortable accommodation and now we’d like to develop an organic, pesticide free poly garden, vegetables and edible flowers and would love some help us with that.
    We live in the beautiful Sliabhnamban valley in Southern Ireland, close to lots of natural amenities and small villages.

    Help

    Help develop an eco-friendly poly garden from scratch. Some other easy gardening duties like cutting grass, weeding (we are pesticide free) and general maintenance of an old building like white washing and some painting. Someone who likes dogs would be great. We have 1 lovely boy who loves attention.
    We are willing to provide meals. We are predominately non-meat eaters but we do eat fish. What’s expected? Cleaning up after meals, taking care of your accommodation, no cigarette smoking, honesty and a willingness to share your knowledge.

    What else ...

    I have travelled in Europe and North America on the Workaway scheme. I’ve had some good and bad experiences and I know what makes a good experience. In your time off you can take public transport to anywhere around Ireland. The nearest large town is 15 minutes away. We are surrounded by walking and hiking opportunities. This is a rural area with the nearest village 7 minutes away. We can provide a bicycle and can drop you to local places, within reasonable distances
