  Description

  We are an older couple, living in the tiny Victorian country town of Guildford, 10 mins from Castlemaine and 20 from Daylesford. It's located with lots of historical places, wineries, breweries, cafes, art and music close by to explore. We love the area and our home has lots of fruit trees, vegie beds and a greenhouse. Our gardens are fairly big, and we are finding it harder each year to keep up with its maintenance so would love help to get on top of everything. We are vegetarians, have a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home so you will have a bedroom and bathroom to yourself to use and look after. We have a very friendly Jack Russell dog called Frankie.

  Help

  We would like general garden help, weeding, mulching, pruning, whipper snipping and other with all the tools provided. There are several other projects we would like to do, landscaping and painting at some stage all to try and make maintenance of the areas easier. We would be doing most tasks together and sharing new skills. Some help with housework would be appreciated sometimes too.
