Deb

In the fall and winter of 2011/12 we had an exchange programme with the state of Wisconsin. It was the brain child of our resident house sitter, Deb Biechler who persuaded her friends to come visit her in Bormes and while they were with her, she put them all to useful employment. We are left with the impression of Wisconsin as the home of super practical professionals – ‘hell raising ‘ men & women who, when not in the office, casually clear virgin forest, fell trees, erect fences, build stone walls, repair woodwork just like that Hollywood vision of Oklahoma which older readers will remember in their childhood. They left a lasting legacy at L’Orangerie, the question is: Can we persuade the Deb and her Dream Team to come back again?

This is a post about some recent volunteers from Workaway who stayed and worked in the garden.
