Join a couple and help them with gardening in Powell River, Canada

Details

  Description

  We are a married couple with a daughter who lives in Vancouver. We have resided here since 2016. Our acreage was bare land before moving here. It has been a blank canvas for us to create our dream home and property.
  We are both musicians and play at a local restaurant on Sundays during summer months, as well as various gigs in the area at other times. Paul is an active volunteer fire fighter.
  I like to cook and we both enjoy having visitors, be it family or friends. We have a chocolate lab (Coco) who loves Frisbee catching and swimming. Hiking is way up there on her list too. We also have two cats (Ollie and Mollie) and they are always ready for a snuggle.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The Upper Sunshine Coast of B.C. is a beautiful place to spend time in. There are numerous outdoor activities, such as hiking, boating, fishing. The Sunshine Coast trail is the longest free hut to hut hiking trail that gives one access to the beauty that the west coast of Canada has to offer. We also have whales passing through quite regularly. There is a large music and artist population to enjoy.

  Help

  We have 9 acres to upkeep. The garden is about 7 years old and I need some help getting it under control and building good soil. There is also bramble to clear.
