  Descrição

  In cerca di giardiniere tutto fare con alloggio privato e tutte spese pagate.
  We are a mixed nationality family, American and Italian, with a large homestead in the Lombardy region of Italy. We are located a convenient 4 minutes drive from the highway exit and 2 minutes from town though we have total privacy amidst greenery.
  
  We have Tibetan goats, chickens, cats and a guard dog. Plenty of gardens, standard, raised and vertical.
  We have yard work and gardening to do during warm weather months, some planting and feeding the outdoor cats and the dog. We always have on-going projects, some with a local builder who needs 4 hands 😅 and only has two.
  It is fundamental that the candidate have a driver's license! Some driving requested - especially running errands.
  Must speak English or Italian.
  Must be willing to stay (with flexible hours and independence) long term. Minimum 6 months!

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  You can learn about no till-no, no watering gardening methods, practice your English or learn Italian. Our local library offers free Italian lessons!
  
  If you're into 'wilding', you can find all kinds of edibles in the area. Literally between the house and road, wild salad grows. We have mushrooms, nettles, dandelion, spinach, hops and other wild edible plants. I would also love to relocate some wild edibles to a specific untouched area on our land to create a wild garden with superior nutritional characteristics.
  
  Note: we will eventually, at some point in the future, be looking to fill a permanent paid position when and if we find the right person or couple, in case this interests you.

  Ajuda

  We would appreciate help with watering the shrubs, mowing the lawn, raking and putting out food in the mornings for the dog and the cats.
  
  We often have a host of workers, plumbers, electricians, masons and woodworkers about at various times, so we ask assistance if necessary and if you have strong skills that allow us to do away with professionals for certain projects, we will happily compensate.
  
  Any skills in landscaping would be greatly welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even amateur skills, I am constantly tweaking our rough 'farmish' land to make it look more tended and tailored. Not sure I will ever get there. Quite a dream.

  Algo mais...

  You are free to seek additional work in the area.
  We are located a mere 5 minutes walk from town where there are buses and trains daily, though we offer use of the car, so generally these are not needed.
  Milan is a quick express bus ride away. You can easily visit Pavia and Vigevano. Even Genoa is a hop skip and jump away by Bla Bla car (6€) or the seaside town of Arrenzano.
  
  There is a great gym nearby. We also have a large professional trampoline on our property that you are free to use and there are some beautiful river bathing spots in the area.
