Permaculture experience in Gig Harbor, WA, USA

Details

• 

  Description

  Summer garden set up. General maintenance of property. 100 percent work away experience guaranteed! I have only two reviews so far. 5/5 stars...I think we should have 100 percent rating IMO. I am told that our 85 percent rating is due to the fact that WA counts quantity not quality... 5/5 for our first time "ain't bad" though hu? OK enough ranting...hahaha. Antonio didn’t have time to review me before his subscription expired. He was a fantastic 3 month work away here and we are now life time friends!
  
  Gig Harbor 7 acres . I am just starting and need help in the garden. Permaculture knowledge helpful but not necessary. I am a Master Gardener with Permaculture. I need help building interior project, painting and general household chores.
  
  Eventually, I would use my property and a training site for a variety of lost arts such as canning, bee keeping, composting and making dirt, solar dehydration of fruit, and solar cooking to name a few
  
  Accommodations indoor unfinished apartment. I need your help to finish it. . Please be prepared to work about 4 hours per day 4 days per week. I will provide dinner for the days we work together. Social drinking ok, but no smokers.
  
  I have worked on a small food farm in northern Costa Rica. I can teach about gardening, Permaculture and living off the land year round. I have traveled in Central America, France, Spain, Italy and can make recommendations. I grew up on the East Coast and know a bit about traveling there and parts of the US in between too. I speak Spanish pretty well. I just retired from being a nurse for 35
  years!
  In your free time, there is a lot to do here, you can bike easily from the house and there are waterways for kayaks and summer swimming.. The hiking is very nice.
