So I am hoping there are some folk out there who love to garden, create , are not afraid of hard work. in exchange for board and lodging. in a friendly, creative home. with plenty of interesting places nearby to explore. Looking forward to meeting you!.. .mile buichois.
    Please see calender for availibility, and note ,1 to 2 week visit is my preference, thanks.

Lough Crew, Trim Castle etc etc. traditional music once a week up the road. Dublin an hour bus ride away. I have a working knowledge of the Irish language. I have studied homeopathy and reflexology.

    I have a very wild garden. I am growing some fruit and vegetables. Polytunnel is in place. I would like to set up a beehive, to give the bees somewhere safe. Set up more water harvesting for garden. I have fruit bushes on front lawn. I have a problem with arthritis, so not strong enough to do it all myself. so need help with digging, pruning trees, weeding, clearing, painting, inside and out.. The main jobs are now... Building a raised bed, like the one in the photos. Sorting water harvesting to polytunnell and prepping ,painting the garden walls.
    I don't have a lot of knowledge, but learning as I go. would love help for five hours a day, five days.
