Beautiful Country House and glamping site set in 45 acres of woodland Key info: * 4-5hrs per day, 2 days off per week * Self catered * Gardening/ Decorating / general property maintenance * Shropshire, UK Our country home has the benefit of 45 acres of private woodland, gardens and grounds and is home to an abundance of wildlife, rare plants and flowers. We also have hot tubs. The area is very scenic and breathtakingly beautiful. We welcome people who want to spend time outdoors helping in the house and our gardens and grounds. We can teach you to ride a lawn tractor, compact tractor and a quad bike and use brush cutters, fencing in the fields etc. No experience is necessary, we are good teachers. My Mother has a lot of gardening knowledge to pass on. Volunteers are encouraged to share their culture and food during shared meals in the evenings. We can also teach carpentry & DIY skills if you want to help with maintenance around the house.

Volunteers with carpentry, forestry skills welcome but not essential. Volunteers with photography and social media skills are also welcome. We have a small tractor and two lawn tractors.

Its a lot of fun and very satisfying for those who wish to be involved. Helpers would also help look after our dogs.
