Details
Description
We are a vegan family of 3 including a 9 year old and a super sweet cat. We have a home in a suburban neighborhood in beautiful Niagara Falls. We are tucked away, a bit further away from the tourist attractions, but closer to some great hiking trails, grocery stores and lots of amenities. We love showing people around and teaching them about Niagara!

Help
Currently we are in dire need of help with the garden. This would entail cleaning out the leaves, removing the old mulch in the garden beds and laying down new mulch. We also need to tear out a larger bush and several very small ones and then subsequently plant new bushes in their place. There is also a shed that needs to be painted with stain (just one coat).
We require a minimum of 4 hours of work a day, with 2 days off, in exchange for accommodation and dinner at home. You will need to purchase your own breakfast and lunch items. Please note that we are vegan, so only vegan foods in our house please.
