  Description

  Hi,
  I'm Olive and I live in a small country side cottage with a vegetable garden and beautiful meditation garden with many garden areas needing care and love. Cutting Back and shredding Hedgerows, painting, tidying overgrowth and organizing.
  I grow fruit and vegetables, herbs and flowers with a small young forest. I've created some nice relaxing meditation areas in the garden so it's a lovely place to wander and chill out.
  I have created a secluded labyrinth, a stone circle, a small olive grove, a hazel triskele, a willow walk and a sound meditation walk so far with the help of others.
  I am located in the midlands surrounded by many famous sacred sites within 30 minute drive such as Lough Crew, The Hill of Tara, The Hill of Uisneach and The Hill of Ward. There are also some lovely lakes and forest walks locally within a 15 minute drive. There is parking at the property.
  
  I am interested in help with some garden projects and possibly some painting or little house projects when the weather isn't suitable for garden projects.
  
  This is a cultural exchange and meals are shared mostly. When I am not around then food will be able for preparation.

  Aide

  This is an invitation to help in the garden with cutting back, pruning, planting and whatever else is needed. I like to keep the garden neat and from getting too overgrown. Some areas are left to be wild . Ideally workaways would be energetic and fit enough to do garden tasks and having an interest in spirituality could be an advantage to enjoy the space.
  Some painting projects and occasional creative projects in the garden depending on the season. Some harvesting of herbs, fruit and vegetables to enjoy all that is.
  Stays from a few days up to a few weeks. There are two twin guest rooms with a shared bathroom.
