We are also looking for a person that can help us in the garden and are able/willing to cut grass, prune trees, weeding, cutting grass, weeding and cutting gras after weeding, moving pebbles for the new part of the garden - DID WE MENTION WEEDING AND CUTTING GRASS? ;-)
We have for the last couple of years tried to create a flower garden around our house and to some extend we have succeeded, but we are open for ways to avoid the weed and getting a low maintenance garden with flowers all year around.
