  Aide

  We welcome help with maintaining our vegetable and flower gardens and occasionally helping my husband with DIY. Portugal is a hot dry country during the Summer and the garden needs a lot of care. We have citrus trees, maize, soft fruit trees, and various vegetables. An experienced hand would be much appreciated.
  The tasks will be light and variable so there will be plenty of time to read/relax/explore/...
