    Description

    We are a small family who have inherited a fabulous but intense garden. We are very excited to learning about becoming more self sustainable. We are looking for keen gardeners who would like to explore the Irish country side. We also have a little lady who is almost two and a handful. We sometimes need help with her and other general maintenance tasks.
