Greetings- my 8x24 self would love a space to join in on a garden or to start one. I am happy to either pay a monthly fee or to do work exchange.
Its just me- I may eventually get a dog (and train it very well!) but perhaps not.
Please let me know if either you or someone you know has a space for my home and I.
