Intro

If ever there was a time to start a blog about my job it's now. I am currently in my second season working as a groundskeeper at a Chateau in France. I mainly spend most of my time maintaining the gardens and surrounding areas in a blurred version of a nine to five for the boss and gaffer. Other than that I try and stamp my own style to the existing layout in as much as I can without giving myself a hard time from my employers.
I am going to try and make this as interactive as possible with pictures and updates of my daily/weekly work, and if possible show before/after of certain projects. Please if you feel you can contribute with advice or constructive input then I'd be happy to hear it. We have a few experiments going on with trying to make the gardens as sustainable as possible, so with my limited experience in gardening (Im not trained in horticulture, just love being outdoors and especially spending time in the vegetable garden) any observations would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading and lets get gardening!
