Hello! I am looking for part time help to assist with my small farm in Oakton, VA - Preferably someone who is studying Permaculture and/or Horticulture and would like an opportunity to help further develop, design and maintain 700sq ft of garden beds and grow over a dozen new plantings of fruit trees, berries, etc across a 2acre piece of property.
