Learn organic and permaculture practices in rural Taranaki, New Zealand

Infos

• 

  Description

  I am a retired dress designer and having run a business in London for many years, have now returned to my native New Zealand to create a large permaculture - based garden in rural Taranaki. Having just finished building (the third house in ten years) I have recently surrounded it with an eclectic mix of fruit, vegetables and flowers.
  I would enjoy working together and exchanging ideas as we go, and love to use my design principles, gained from being in the dress trade, in the garden.
  As I have just undergone (successful) brain surgery, and am currently in recovery, I find myself with a temporarily much reduced capacity for garden work, and also have an automatic 6 month driving ban, so am unable to offer food and cooking. The sleepout on offer is fully equipped, but the applicants would definitely need a car, and be prepared to cook their own food. The hours of requested work have been reduced accordingly.

  Aide

  As all the gardening is done organically, help to clear or block pernicious weeds and create a base for new planting.I could also do with some internet help!

  Hébergement

  Accomodation in a self-contained unit, 20 metres away from the main house, with a fitted kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom/laundry. There is plenty of parking space, and you would need a car, as New Plymouth is a 20 min drive away and there is no public transport from Lepperton.

  Autres infos...

  Walking on our wonderful coastal walkway, surfing, climbing the mountain, visiting the Len Lye Gallery and the excellent local museums.
  I prefer to have the evenings to myself, but am happy to have dinner together on the first night.
