Hello!
Our family operates a private botanical garden on the tropical island of Nevis, twin island to St. Kitts.
NO COVID REQUIREMENTS!
If you enjoy gardening and appreciate the beauty of nature, gardens, plants, flowers and exotic trees, or have a friendly disposition to help welcome and assist with visitors, then this project may be for you. Intimate, charming and welcoming with a good dose of Caribbean charm and a majestic central mountain, it is truly a gem of a tropical island paradise.
This is a great opportunity to join our international team and experience various areas of the operation of a popular tourist attraction and helping to preserve nature; meet visitors from around the world; design and implement garden features or maintain nurseries, waterways, and various sub-gardens. Yes, a lot of weeding is often involved:-)
Creative or eager-to-learn new gardeners, repair and maintenance (both experienced and DIY) with varied skill-sets, social media experts, event planning enthusiasts, or, just lend a pair of helping hands in the many areas of our operation.
At this time we especially welcome:
1) Those with BEE-KEEPING experience, landscape and gardening skills or enthusiasts;
2) Experienced Maintenance/Handyperson with basic to good construction/electrical repair/plumbing/carpentry skills
3) Social media enthusiasts
On days off you may choose to hike to the mountaintop or to the waterfalls, take a dip in the hot springs, walk around the historic picturesque town center, visit the various beaches or snorkel, and listen to reggae music at lively beach bars. We have been privileged and enjoyed welcoming visitors from various countries, with multiple languages and cultures.
Accommodations available in two houses with baths and kitchens spread over 3 lush landscaped gardens.
Long term and couples welcomed. No smokers please. Thank you.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
