Botanical Garden installation

We've started a private, botanical garden in the Great Southern of Western Australia. We're looking to attract plant obsessed people who are diligent, active and nice folk. Previous experience/qualifications in Horticulture/Landscaping are a bonus but not essential. We're in the process of completing a separate building for our visitors. Lunch and dinner meal times will be spent together, but you'll have more privacy after evening meals. Breakfast will be available in your building.

Sharon is an early childhood/Primary Art Teacher. Phil is a Lecturer in Horticulture who's spent decades in a variety of Horticultural Ventures. We are amiable, fun people who work hard but also have fun too. We are also looking for preferably an Oriental Muralist to paint an Oriental Mural on a building in an Oriental Garden. Must be high calibre artwork please. If you know anyone suited to this - please forward it to them. Due to scammers applying - we've had to apply these conditions; Applicant has and can prove that they have secured a tourist visa [or similar]. We cannot assist in helping people get a visa. Applicants should have a travel plan to other locations [so we are not the only stop point but one of many you plan to visit] Applicants should be planning to arrive soon and/or already in Australia. Placement is generally two weeks on trial and potential extended stay from their time of visit. We look forward to welcoming the right guests with open arms.

This has been an incredibly fulfilling hands-on experience. Phil and Sharon welcomed me with open arms, and immediately I felt at ease. Phil’s passion for plants is contagious. With his guidance, every day I have planted trees and shrubs across the various gardens, pruned and propagated countless plants and learnt about reticulation. My life skills have grown, and I have had the opportunity to get involved in animal care, and well as building and dismantling with Sharon’s support. Highly recommend coming here, you’ll feel all your efforts are coming to fruition!

Sharon and Phil made me feel right at home. I absolutely loved every part of the experience, whether it was planting, reticulation, exploring local areas, meeting locals, mowing, cooking etc. They are very easy going and made sure I had the best experience!

One of the best volunteerships I’ve ever had. Phil and Sharon are fully present in asking their volunteers what we want to learn, see and experience. Phil is eager to teach in the gardens; I learned reticulation, used a ground drill and a loader. Though whatever you’re comfortable with will be perfectly okay. Sharon is eager to show us around the beaches, she planned a camping adventure and we even went fishing. Working on the project feels like making a difference in a garden utopia. I stayed in one of the rooms in the main house and it was very comfortable and private!

As soon as I arrived in Australia from Argentina I went to volunteer at Phill Y Sharon's house. I was there for 3 weeks and I want to say that it is the best thing I could have done because they welcomed me as one of the family, they gave me comfort at all times, they showed me amazing places around their village and they taught me many things about planting, irrigation and their amazing botanical garden.
They are great people that I had the pleasure of meeting and they made my arrival better than ever. Totally recommended it, it's an amazing experience that everyone should have.

Great time at the botanical garden. Felt like part of Phil and Sharon’s family. The tasks were straightforward and hours of work were respected. Learned a lot about irrigation and planting/potting techniques. Had great food and a lot of free time to rest and walk around. Good hikes nearby too with the ocean and beaches being only 30 minutes away!

Both Sharon and myself really enjoyed having Bennett here. We'd be happy to endorse him to any Host. We hope he can make it back someday.
