| LOCATION : Four blocks south of the centre of Hopkins
directly on the beach TRAVEL : by bus from Dangriga (20 mi.) 2.$ U.S. Near the centre of the seaside village of Hopkins in Belize there is a small hotel known as Ransoms Seaside Garden. This garden was established in 1981 and is a fine and rare collection of tropical flora cultivated along purely organic lines and serves to be the setting for a two-room cabana and a single Garden Room that opens to the lobby and the beach. Help is needed to maintain the watering and repotting of the collection as well as general cleaning and upkeep, propagation, germination, etc. My name is Baron Swann and I have lived here in Hopins by the Sea for over 20 years. As a dedicated gardener I have created a unique garden that has become internationally renown. The accommodation that I may offer is a private room fully furnished with appointments for comfort and repose. It would be my pleasure to host a single male gardener who has carpentry skills and/or creative skills in pottery, for I make Pots and Jardineers for the collection and usually need assistance now that I have, by the Grace of God, become ageable and mellow and somewhat slow. | |

| This traditional small farm in Arcadia has been neglected for over 20 years. We are clearing invaded scrub and trees, re-establishing the vineyard and the fruitt and nut trees (but not the former wheat and livestock). The land is steep and terraced, so almost all work must be done by hand and this farm will never be a commercial venture. This is NOT a suitable farm if you want to learn about contemporary organic farming on a commercial scale. | |

I cannot be there from April until October and would like to find someone with gardening experience who would make a six month commitment to this project. The house is small and brand new, with lovely curves, sleeping alcove in one large room, kitchenette and composting toilet. Rent is normally $330 per month, but I would only ask for $150 and work trade. It is a wooded property, located in a friendly rancho outside of San Miguel Allende in the high desert country. I bought it 8 years ago, and it has taken me this long to pay off the original loans and raise a small but magical house. There is a well with good water. Property is about 1/3 acre. Have access to irrigation water from artesian spring that abutts property. Now I really want to put in a garden, but I have to go home to work for six months. Looking for the person who can love this spot of earth as much as I do. Rainy season will begin around May or June. Now the country is blossoming sweet perfumed yellow mesquite and guisache. | |
