Descripción
My name is Kevin, I'm retired, my children are grown up and my hobby is a lovely, private garden of a half an acre in the countryside, which contains a Water Garden, Alpines and Exotic plants.
A double room is available for one person, who loves gardening and would help out in the garden with various jobs, including construction, labelling plants, weeding, maintenance, buying plants, planting plants & painting.
Full board provided. We are in rural Ireland, 9 miles south of Limerick city. Please note that there is NO public transport in the immediate area.

I'll help people with seeing cultural places of interest in the area e.g. nearby Lough Gur, Ballyhoura hills region, Limerick city with St. John's Castle and other city attractions, Adare village, Bunratty Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Kerry, etc.
People, who stay, will benefit from gardening experience and will have the opportunity to immerse themselves into rural Irish atmosphere and lifestyle.

I stayed one month with Kevin and it was one of the best experiences. Kevin has a very beautiful garden and your work is to look after the garden so the work isnt too hard. For example, weeding or pot up the plants. Moreover, Kevin is a good cook so you are going to eat very well. I recommend to stay wirh Kevin ;)

Julia & Jasmin were absolutely fantastic during their stay here for the month of March 2019. Nothing fazed them and they were industrious and methodical. Their standard of English was 100% (pronunciation and vocabulary) and when they qualify and join a school, their pupils will be very lucky to have them as teachers. Kevin. April 2019.
