  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are stewards of this land and take a very natural approach to both our parenting practices, as well as how we live and work in the garden.
  We use Permaculture principles of design, philosophy and like to preserve the natural systems that are already in place. With this in mind there will be a natural education of understanding patterns in nature, the water flows, soils, techniques and strategies to work with the local ecology.

  Aide

  Looking for help on 2.5 acre property. We can cater for 1x main meal/day.
  Jobs may include playing games with our 3yo daughter, maintaining lawns, hedges and help to cleanup fallen branches. We have a communal fire circle under a very old gum tree - as such firewood collecting is also handy.
  We are regularly planting trees, shrubs and vegetables in allocated areas which you can participate in and there will be occasions to support as directed, e.g. help to hold ladders, assist with tennis court maintenance etc.
  Best suited if you already have experience with hand held gardening machinery such as blowers, mowers, whipper snippers, hedges and can lift heavy objects safely.
  Bonus if you have musical instruments and interest in creating art in evening time.
