Short Property Description
Violet Hill Dahlias is a 25 acre mainly natural bush block with three bedroom home situated in Boomlambayte NSW. I am surrounded by national park and are 10 mins from Myall Lakes, 8 mins from the lovely township of Buladelah and 25 mins from some breathtaking surfing beaches such as Seal Rocks. Newcastle is 1 hr 15 mins away. I am in the process of setting up a flower growing business and need help with propagation, planting, watering and looking after and expanding my collection of dahlias. A lot of the work will be making compost and preparing garden beds for planting so the work will be manual to a degree. However if the work is not to your liking I will understand and try to find tasks that are enjoyable. I also need some help with vegetation management (cutting down and removing pest plants from the property). Accommodation will be in the main home in a room with Verandah access.
Organic/Biological methods we use
Using composting methods to improve soil health and build garden beds will be the main work alongside gardening, propagation and learning to grow flowers.

Why I became a WWOOF Host
I am keen to develop my flower business and pass on my gardening knowledge to others. I believe in sharing my space with others for the mutual benefit of all. I believe in community and people working together to achieve results.
