Description
We are a small family that has lived in the US Virgin Islands for almost 8 years. We love to show off our beautiful islands and we are so happy to have the space to share with others. Please come help garden and do general maintenance. I love working outside and can be right along side you getting my hands dirty when I'm not teaching my two children in their homeschool work.

Help
