    We are looking for help in our garden and house.
    Projects can vary depending on the season, which might include clearing brambles, ivy and other weeds, helping maintain the vegetable garden, planting, cleaning the house and various DIY jobs.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We live in the Wicklow countryside surrounded by victorian walled gardens
    We offer food and accommodation in exchange for help in our garden and house.
    We have a double room available for helpers so would be perfect for a couple wanting to stay.
    Our ideal helper would be flexible with the work requested, as things are subject to change depending on the season, be open minded, punctual and not afraid of hard physical work. A good level of English and some knowledge of gardening, building or DIY would be a big plus.
    In general, we have one to two helpers at a time, but occasionally up to four.
    We are a large family with many young children.
