  Descrição

  Help Wanted: Help from an experienced gardener for a Creative Retreat in Southwest France
  Dates: Last week of Mid-September onowards | Duration: 2–4 weeks
  
  For the past 14 years, we’ve been welcoming guests from around the world to our home in the beautiful French countryside, where we host residential creative workshops in a relaxed and inspiring setting. This autumn we’re also supporting two small, non-profit music events, created to give talented young musicians the opportunity to perform and share their work.
  
  We’re looking for one or two friendly, enthusiastic helpers to join us for 2–4 weeks, with some previous gardening experience. Your main focus will be helping us care for our extensive gardens clearing, weeding, pruning and generally getting the outdoor spaces looking their best for our events and workshops and the winter months ahead. You’ll need to enjoy working outdoors, including when the weather isn’t perfect, and be comfortable getting stuck into fairly physical garden jobs, hopefully with experience of cutting back, clearing and preparing a garden for winter..
  
  What we offer: You’ll have comfortable, shared catering accommodation here at the venue, with the occasional meal provided, as well as €12 per hour for approximately 15–20 hours of work each week. This should leave you plenty of free time to explore the surrounding countryside, work on your own projects, or simply enjoy being here.
  
  Who we’re looking for: We’d particularly like to hear from people who are friendly, practical and flexible, and who are happy to become part of a small and welcoming household while they’re here. We ask for a minimum stay of two weeks, although we’d be very happy to welcome someone who can stay for three or four. In return, we hope this offers a rather lovely combination: useful, hands-on work, plenty of independence and the chance to spend some time in a lively, creative environment in a beautiful part of rural France.
  
  If this sounds like your sort of thing, we’d love to hear from you.
