Help

We are empty nesters ready for some changes! Damien (architect) and Uta (landscape designer to be) have planned a number of garden projects to be realised around our family home in the middle of Port Lincoln, South Australia. The projects involve removing existing vegetation, moving mulch and soil, planting, raking, sanding a deck, oiling garden furniture, paint jobs and other maintenance as it arises.
If you are interested in building we also have a little renovation project on the drawing desk.
Uta runs a serious vegetable garden which might need tweaking here and there.
We are environmentally minded and try to make sustainable choices in whatever we do.
We welcome helpers interested in preparing meals and cooking. If you are more the home type and enjoy housework there is also plenty of work to keep you busy.
