Description
I am a professional musician based in London . For the last twenty years my husband and I have had a house in Italy with a large olive grove and garden . The house is in the countryside , 5kms from the local town and is quiet and rural . I need help maintaining my land and garden
The house is in Puglia , which is very beautiful . Very hot in July and August . Lots of good local food to cook and places to eat that are fairly inexpensive .my project is to create a Mediterranean garden . So the help needed is maintenance . That is cutting back weeds , grass and maquis . Keeping the land clear . Watering plants

What else ...
I have a car that could be used . Local transport is train and bus . There are local towns to visit , beaches too.
