Fairy Garden Project
L'expérience
I'm Violeta and I live in a farmhouse with a large garden. I moved last year and haven't yet managed to transform the entire garden into a welcoming and magical space, so I'm looking for help.
I'm a neurodivergent woman, and looking at beautiful things brings me great joy and calm: I want my garden and house to be a work of art.

Détails du programme
In 2021, I bought this old farmhouse on the hills of Tuscany, not far from Livorno.
The moment I walked into the garden, I fell in love with its peaceful energy.
The garden is very large, there are fruit trees and my dream of building a fairy garden by constructing various different corners around the farmhouse.
The house isn't finished yet, the electrical system on the first floor is incomplete, there are still rooms to paint, and the garden really needs help. Unfortunately, the first company to start the work cheated me out of a lot of money, and in 2023 there was a flood, and I still haven't fixed all the damage it left. I have been living here alone since April 2024 and it is difficult for me to carry on both my work and the work at home.
There's a lot of potential here, and some parts are still a work in progress — inside and out.

Kitchen work is usually shared: we can cook and clean together, just like "he who cooks doesn't wash the dishes." If I need extra help with meals because I have to work, this will obviously be included in the exchange hours.
