Description
We are retired and live in southern Vancouver Island where we have a garden. One of our daughters and her family(husband, 2 kids and 2 dogs) live across the road.
Our garden is to be exhibited in an “Open Garden” for charity in June.
We need help to make sure it is up to snuff! We also have a 4 year old golden retriever who loves to go for hikes on the many trails through the hills and forrests near by. Yet we are only 1 hour from Victoria and a 1 1/2 hour ferry ride from Vancouver!
We love people and music and the outdoors. Come and stay for 1 or 2 weeks and in return for board and lodging help us for 4 - 6 hours a day in the garden!!
