Description

A meticulous, seasonal gardener, (among many other things), currently tending to beautiful gardens in the NW corner of CT in the US. Experience in greenhouses with knowledge of landscape design and execution. I'm a long time vegan who loves to cook. I love life and like to work hard. Chop wood, carry water. Always learning. 69 years young, active, strong, reliable, skilled, efficient, logical, and modest. 😁

Finding and working with like minded individuals is a gift and I'm grateful that workaway allows this opportunity.

And, I'm the mother of three and Grandma to three brilliant and beautiful little ones.

More details about your skills

Tons. I’ve been a Personal Assistant for incredible musicians and performers, Executive Director of a nationwide rock music day camp, Company Manager at a summer Classical Music festival, Office Manager for businesses and Non Profit organizations, Stage Crew and Hospitality for a Jazz Fest, Marketing Director for the arts, Graphic Designer since the 70's, Social Media Manager, Copywriter, Illustrator, Editor, Photographer, and currently studying to be a certified 200 hour Yoga instructor. Life is good.

In short: I can take direction, manage anything, demo, renovate, and paint, take care of animals, create a gorgeous cut flower or vegetable garden, make vegan meals, talk about a lot of things, fix a broken fence, door, faucet, etc., play with the dog, enjoy the company of others, and love being in interesting places with wonderful people in nature.

I am fun, take direction well, and tend to dive in whenever and wherever needed, without overstepping boundaries. Also, good with arranging hospitality and tech for musicians, artists, performers. Having organized retreats, workshops, theatre presentations, and music festivals for decades. I'm a lover of the arts and this beautiful planet. ♥️
