    Description

    In a large old house, in a very quiet location, we breed horses and look after large gardens.
    In the garden, you will help us to maintain the flowerbeds (dead flowers, weeding and planting perennials, weeding ...) trim the hedges, mow ... in short everything that a garden can require.

    Au sein d'une grande et ancienne maison, très au calme nous élevons des chevaux et nous occupons de vastes jardins.
    Coté jardin, il s'agira de nous aider à entretenir les massifs de fleurs ( fleurs fannées, dedoubler et planter les vivaces, desherber ...) tailler les haies, tondre ...bref tous ce que peut demander un jardin.
