I feel very grateful that Eva took me with her to see various gardens and also local events; Arts Week was fun! I have seen so much more than I thought I would. Gardening with Eva also improved my knowledge of plants, and she is a great floral designer. I am thankful to have been part of her creating a wedding bouquet. As someone who is interested in landscape architecture/garden design, this stay was a perfect fit.
Three weeks felt like three days, and work for me was fun, especially coffee breaks with chocolate. 😊
Thank you again for this lovely stay with you two!

We spent 4 weeks with Eva and Stephen and it was such a great time and experience. Both are very kind, open minded, courteous and always friendly. They have a wonderful (!!!) ornamental garden with thousands of gorgeous plants. Eva is a great florist and we would say florist-artist with a lot of talent.
They also have a farm with beef cattle,

Mostly we worked in the garden - weeding the flowerbeds, planting new plants, sorting plants, strimming and mowing, clearing the polytunnels, cutting trees and watering the plants. In addition we helped Eva to prepare her flowers, that she can use them for her flowerarrangements. If you want, Eva will give you the chance to work with the bees as well!
If you are interested in farming; they have a big knowledge about and Stephan gave us the possibility to drive the tractor.
Eva is a great cook especially with Curry's and Tajine's. We also cooked a few times and baked our bread for both and enjoyed it really!!
During our work we got help from the beautiful cats Dill, Ido and Mint. The two border collies Brise and Storm are so cute and we enjoyed walking with them.
We want to say a big big thank you for the time and wish you both all the best!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Eva and Stephen’s farm; I’m so grateful that I messaged them and came to stay. They hosted me for a total of nearly a month; originally for two weeks and then they were gracious to welcome me back for another couple of weeks when my travel plans changed and I was looking for somewhere to go. I

The work was fair and engaging: mostly weeding and watering, planting and repotting, looking after the hens, tidying around the house, and cooking. I was grateful to have come in May; the flowers were magnificent. Eva allowed us to help with the bees if we were interested, which was an experience I’d always been interested in and it was fun to don the bee suit and observe the master at work. I ate better than I had in a while, as Eva was happy to get any groceries we requested for cooking and there were herbs from the garden we could use. The only potential downside to be aware of is that it is not possible to walk to town or anywhere off the farm. However, this was never an issue at all because they were very good about coordinating rides for us if we wanted to explore as well as picking me up and dropping me off at my arrival/departure.
Thank you again, Eva and Stephen, for everything! I sincerely hope I can come back to visit at some point (I already have once, haha).

I stayed with Eva and Stephen for about 4 weeks and can truly recommend it!
From the moment I stepped into their house, it felt like a second home to me. I really enjoyed cooking for them, especially because you could feel how grateful they were.
Besides cooking and a bit of cleaning, I also worked in the garden and did various task like weeding,

When the weather was good, I went for walks in Jenkinstown Wood. It took me about 2 hours and was a nice opportunity to enjoy the rest of my day. :)
Whether I wanted to visit Kilkenny or try a different walk, Eva or Stephen always offered to drop me off and also pick me up at the end of the day.
Eva even took me to her monthly flower competition. That was such a cool experience and I met really lovely people there.
So if you're thinking about doing a Workaway here, do it!!! You won't regret it!
Thanks again to Eva and Stephen for everything! I really enjoyed my stay at your farm and will definitely come back and visit you. I already miss our daily tea and coffee after lunch. :D

They provide you whatever you need for cooking and living. We slept in a room with a queen size bed, and there is another room with two twin beds.

Within the tasks to be carried out, there are no schedules or pressures to do them, as long as you fulfill them.
They also have no problem in driving you to the city or try to help you on whatever you need.
Stephen is a really nice man, he loves music and rugby. He is always working at their farm, and believe us that he works very hard. One night we went out with him to a pub close to their house, and had some pints of Guinness (awsome moment).
Eva works all day long, it's a very busy and strong woman. It's very nice and lovely also, and always thanks you for the help you give them.
