Description

Hello!

My name is Olivia (my friends call me Liv). A year and a half ago I switched careers and began working in native landscaping as a gardener -- it became one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I love working with my hands and existing outdoors. When I am not in the garden I enjoy reading (fiction and nonfiction), yoga, flow arts, and crafting of all sorts.

I am an adventurer at heart, temporarily waylaid by a stationary lifestyle. It would be an honor to work in your space, learn, and share my skills as I continue to explore this strange and beautiful world.

Thanks for reading

More details about your skills

I have experience working in gardens, specifically pruning, trimming, and manicuring plants. I have some experience with tending to fruit trees, pruning for beauty and health. I also can do general weeding and clearing of brush.

I have a pretty basic understanding of irrigation systems, both PVC and soft line, and can do basic repairs of broken lines.

I also have a lot of experience digging holes lol

If you have specific questions about my skills, please ask!

What else ...

Oh gosh, what else is there to say?

I am interested in exploring and understanding natural ecosystems - - how the land and its inhabitants interacts with itself. Eventually, I would like to start my own homestead and to live more closely with the land. I can be a bit in my head about this. A bit philosophical, maybe. But I find working with the natural world to be incredibly grounding.

I'd love to talk permaculture, sustainability, and indigenous wisdom with you if that's your jam :)
