The experience

I have a small farm within the Dartmoor National Park. I have created a garden of about two acres which is completly organic to attract butterflies and wildlife. I need general gardening help. This is maintenance not developmental. i am happy to pass on my skills and do the tasks with the volunteer. I currently have a small neglected vegetable patch which could be a challenge if the volunteer was up for a project.

Rules

I am a 70 year old single guy so no parties or other uninvited guests. The farm is quite remote so someone who is happy to chat or chill. I enjoy talking to visitors so happy to talk over a glass of wine. I have a cat and a holiday cottage so will need to respect their space.
