  Aide

  We're looking for people to help with some of the gardening and DIY around the complex. We would like to improve the Barn and gardens so we can use it as a creation space. We are hoping next year to host a Art Gathering in the summer so this would be in preparation for that. We are looking for someone who is manual, likes to live in family spirit.
  
  We need help with:
  
  - Tidy the Barn and sheds ( to store material and keep it away from heat/rain.)
  - Weeding , gardening, planting trees
