  Our garden is big garden so in the Spring we are always looking for someone to help us. We work most mornings either in the house or in the garden, depending on the weather. When its wet we work inside the house doing general maintenance and decorating. We also have a beautiful dog called Stanley and he needs lots of play time and walks so help with looking after him. You dont really need any particular skills, we can show you.
