More details about your skills
I have several years experience as a gardener/horticulturist. I have good knowledge of plants as well as practical skills in this field.
I have always had pet cats and/or dogs and have experience with reactive/vulnerable animals. I have worked with insects and reptiles and have an affinity with most fauna.
I know my way around a kitchen and I am used to garden-to-kitchen food preparation due to my experience in professional and domestic gardens as well as cooking mostly 'from fresh' at home.
I am a competent writer and know how to use words and vocabulary clearly.
I studied photography in college and also enjoy landscape and architectural photography as a casual hobby.
I am logistical and a good problem solver. I enjoy overcoming challenges and focusing on efficiency.
I am fit and used to physical work and I am happy to get my hands dirty.

I enjoy reading, going on walks and sea swimming. Being from an island means I find great comfort in being by the ocean.

He has been very attentive and involved in the dogs well being and shelter maintenance. He left the studio where he stayed perfectly clean and tidy and also left some very helpful tips for the next volunteer.
We have been delighted for his so kind and beautiful presence and we and the dogs already miss him.
