  Help

  We bought a house with a huge garden/park in Tuscany 2 years ago and it was like a jungle.
  Today we have done a lot of projects on it but there is still a lot to do like repaceing stones from the stairs and walls, pruning trees, constructing a vegetable garden and much more. The place has a wounderful garden and beautiful view over Pontedera and the hills of Tuscany.
  We are from Norway and speek exellent english but would also like to practice italian if possible.
