    Description

    We are a small family who have inherited a fabulous but intense garden. We are very excited to learn 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 three years old and a handful. We have also just had a little boy, so replies may be delayed! We sometimes need help with playing with our three year old and other general maintenance tasks. We have a medium sized very friendly dog 🦮 just so you know. ☺️
