  Looking for help with the garden, vegetable garden and extending the area where we are clearing non native trees and replacing with native trees. Lawn mowing and other garden tasks.
  
  There are local community/charity groups we support that need helping hands for projects such as native planting, weed control, help with community groups. Opportunities to support these may be available (depending on the time of year) which we would welcome help with. A great opportunity to be involved and experience our rural NZ community.
