Description
============
Needing help with weeding, irrigation and mulching
============
We are a couple in our early 40s and one small dog looking for help with a revegetation project. We recently ripped out 3 hectares of grape vines and have been planting South Australian natives. We are looking for people to help with this project. Depending on the time of year we will need help with planting, watering and weed control. We are in the beautiful McLaren Vale region, close to wonderful cellar doors, a short drive to the beach and shops. It will be useful to have a car here. Very comfortable accommodation with own bedroom and bathroom, room for camper van parking if you prefer that option.

We are a quiet couple that enjoys the revegetation project we are working on, going to the beach, quiet nights in, and traveling. Non smokers please. You will need a car in the area as there isn't much public transport here.
