Help needed for outdoor tasks in the garden, North Cork, Ireland

  Description

  The Square Garden.
  
  We are a family with two young boys. We are living in the middle of a small Irish village in North Cork with mountains, woods and rivers close by. Cork City is half an hour away. Fermoy a bigger town is 5 minutes drive. There is plenty to discover in this area either culturally or naturally.
  
  We are a couple both passionate about growing. My partner is a landscape architect and I work as an organic gardener. We bought a big project of a house 2 years ago that has a walled garden. In the walled garden I am developing an organic cut flower farm. We also grow a lot of our own food. It is in the garden where I would love the help. No experience needed, just enthusiasm :-)! We will also be developing a natural swimming pond this spring. We always have interesting projects on the go.

  Aide

  We are looking for anyone that is up for mainly outdoor tasks in the garden. Chores will depend very much on the season. I am setting up a cut flower farm. Spring is a lot of prep work; sowing seeds, prepping beds, making supports. Summer time will be a lot of harvesting and if you are interested flower arranging. We will have other projects on the side; growing vegetables, fruit and herbs. Making a natural swimming pond. In the autumn we will have more harvesting and also apple pressing and cider making.
