I live on a property with a significant garden and lawns at Lake Hayes, Central Otago. I am in my 70's and live alone. I enjoy working in my garden and doing the lawns, but I do need some help to keep it fully maintained. I live in a beautiful part of New Zealand with an expansive view and comfortable home.
