Description
Hello, my name is Andrea (59) and I would describe myself as creative, cosmopolitan and spiritual. In my profession I work with children and adults in the field of left-handedness. My three daughters are grown and already living separately from me. I moved to a new house a year ago, where there is still a lot to do: design the big garden, reduce the weeds, sometimes assemble shelves and other furniture and other simple jobs. Hans, my partner, and Mimi, my 19-year-old cat, also live in my house.
I am looking for someone who wants to work in the fresh air. In my garden there is always a lot to do: mowing the lawn, pruning bushes, removing weeds, planting new plants, etc. It would be great if you already have experience with gardening. The duration of stay would be 1-3 weeks.
I am looking forward to your message.

Accommodation
The new house has two residential units. I live in one and you can live in the other. In any case, the large living room with kitchen and sofa bed will already be ready when you come. Maybe there is already another room where you can sleep. Your living room has a terrace, of course there is a bathroom and toilet. The house is in a very quiet area on the outskirts of Vienna, the forest and large recreation areas are in front of the door, but it still has good public transport connections.
What else ...
A public bus that starts a few minutes from the house takes you to downtown Vienna in 30 minutes. The underground can be reached in 15 minutes on foot and also takes you to various culturally interesting places. There are countless sights, parks and museums to discover in Vienna. There are famous shopping streets as well as theater and concert offerings.

Given the good weather, I started working in the garden from the very first days, planting roses and shrubs and taking care of the plants already present. Andrea's garden isn't huge but it's gorgeous and full of different vegetation to maintain!
