Description
Hi, I’m Lara and i'm a gardener from Bristol in the UK.
I love being outside and just being physical, It’s what makes me happy. I’m looking to step away from my life for a few weeks in mid-February and spend my time somewhere where I can be useful, learn something new, and experience a different way of living. I'm particularly wanting to learn more about permaculture, or to get some hands-on experience with building or land projects, however I'm really just looking for a place to put my energy, whether that's in the garden, with general maintenance, or helping out with daily tasks around a home or farm.
I’m easy-going, reliable, and really looking forward to meeting new people and learning from how you do things.
Hoping to stay around 2–4 weeks from mid-February onwards.
Thanks, Lara :)
