Description
We have a very large garden in a beautiful and rural spot in C France. We need help getting it looking loved. We'd like to create pathways and plants fruit trees, shrubs etc. .As we live down a cul de sac there is no passing traffic and hence, very peaceful. Surrounded by open countryside. Just my wife and I here for the most part.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have a few spare bikes for biking. We like to play petanque and we like to eat outside when possible. I can share building skills such as rendering, pointing stone work, laying concrete, planting fruit trees, plumbing (if we run pipework) roofing on low roofs or overhangs, woodwork, fence erecting,.
I'm very well travelled and like to meet folks from differing cultures. Especially music and language. -

Help
I can teach folks how to lime mortar, render with the same, erect fences etc. I will be there the entire time as well as my 30 year old son, who is into playing the guitar, drums and banjo. You will being working alongside us and learning how to do all the things we have planned. We do not need skilled people.
We'll be planting various fruit trees . Some fencing will be erected .Pointing and rendering two old stone buildings. Creating gravel pathways.
My son and I will start at 9 and think it best helpers join us at 10am until 1pm when we break for an hours lunch. Then we resume at 2 until 4. After that, helpers are free to do as they please. -
