  Descripción

  We are Alex(37)(audiovisual engineer) and Caroline(36)(graphic designer), we live in a small village called Cravenceres in the beautiful Gers, South-France. Our small paradise of 3HA used to be a botanical garden for visitors. In the middle of the woods we live together with 2 dogs, 2 horses, 7 chickens and a cat. It is our dream to restore the garden en create a magical places to enjoy with others. We have a Gite that we renovated, started building a tiny house, we have a big vegetable garden and many fruit trees. Sustainability, connection and self-sufficiency are our main values.
  
  The Gers is small undiscovered gem in the south of France, there are not to many people here, but the markets and fesivals in summer are always busy. We are 2 hours away from Toulouse or Bordeaux, 1,5 hours from the mountains and the beach
  
  We are looking for people who can help us create our dream. Restoring the garden, helping out with the animals, the vegetable garden and building new outbuildings like a shed , a greenhouse, a compost toilet, outdoor shower and fencing . We love music and making it. We do recommend that you have a car or a license, since stores are a little drive away.

We are also still learning and figuring things out but like to discover this together. Experience with horses and horse riding would be a plus. Work will be done together or seperatly as we both also have a job.
