5.0
(2 reviews)2

The experience

Needing an extra hand with gardening, landscaping and general tidying of our beautiful property, potentially watching our toddler while I work on the property.
Day to day will be mostly gardening, some pruning trees, cutting firewood, waterblasting or helping us process our meat we gather depending on the time of year.
We have been on this property a year so there's lots to do trying to plant more trees and maintain gardens and property
