Description
There is something very special about flowers, seeding them, watching them grow and seeing them blossom. I absolutely LOVE flowers, they are my expression of Art. I grew up cultivating flowers in Peru. My dream was to find an acreage in Canada to grow my unique flowers, I started growing them in pots in the city. The flower farm is located on one of the lower river benches in Thompson River Estates, the community here is made up of a unique set of farmers and artisan bakers. Our area is very outdoorsy, if you like to hike, swim, fish or go horseback riding in your spare time, the world is your oyster where I live.

Help
Beautiful Flower Farm on the Thompson River Bank is looking for help in our flower garden and orchard. Help is needed harvesting weeding and general help around the house. Weekdays will consist of mostly helping with weeding and mowing, if you love to cook and clean that is wonderful, if you are somewhat self motivated, that would be lovely.

Accommodation
A room in the farm house with guest bath roomI grew up in Peru and I may be slightly used to eating different foods than you are used to. Please be assured that I will feed you three meals a day, and communicate if you need, more less or different stuff. We have an Artisan Bread Baker down the road, Produce is abundant here and plenty of the neighbors raise their own meat. If you like to cook and are a bit foodie this is paradise for you, the farmers market offers a great selection locally grown ingredients so we can pick up what is needed on Market day.
