  • Description

    Description

    My name is Kevin, I'm retired, my children are grown up and my hobby is a lovely, private garden of a half an acre in the countryside, which contains a Water Garden, Alpines and Exotic plants.

    A double room is available for one person, who loves gardening and would help out in the garden with various jobs, including construction, labelling plants, weeding, maintenance, buying plants, planting plants & painting.

    Full board provided. We are in rural Ireland, 9 miles south of Limerick city. Please note that there is NO public transport in the immediate area.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I'll help people with seeing cultural places of interest in the area e.g. nearby Lough Gur, Ballyhoura hills region, Limerick city with St. John's Castle and other city attractions, Adare village, Bunratty Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Kerry, etc.

    People, who stay, will benefit from gardening experience and will have the opportunity to immerse themselves into rural Irish atmosphere and lifestyle.

    I have a half an acre garden in rural countryside. I'd like people to get totally involved with all aspects of gardening, including labelling plants, weeding, maintenance, selecting plants, planting plants, construction, etc. There is usually some painting to do also.
