What sort of gardening skills for part time gardner at 17?

Greetings from Somerset! We are all desperate for people like you! I usually pay �12.50 per hour for digging, cutting back and general garden maintenance. You would do well to also offer to clean out guttering and paint garden furniture. You should advertise in the County Gazette and in all the parish magazines. Or put a note up in the village post offices. You'll need a van or trailer to take the rubbish away - most people have green bins, but that's never enough for the big jobs, specially in the autumn. Good luck with it!
