Details
Description
We are a French / English couple ,with two sons who are here less and less ( as they are growing up and living their own lives ) .We live on a small farm here in Normandy, France with our animals and are creating a beautiful garden ( slowly but surely ) . We try to grow as many of our own vegetables ( with as much stored and transformed for the winters as possible) . I am a singer and gardener and would love to host musical events within the garden , maybe starting an annual mini acoustic music festival . I think ours is a really interesting project ( maybe I am biased) . But for anyone who has an interest in gardening , music , food and or animals we might be the place for you to come and work away . We would be really interested to have volunteers with expertise in Gardening ( Vegetable or ornamental ). We also have a small house on our land , which is in need of a lot of work before it is able to be lived in . We would be interested to hear from anyone with building and carpentry skills too .Thanks for reading !
