I'm looking for a reliable gardener to help with ongoing maintenance of my small orchard. The trees are a mix of apples and pears, about 15 mature trees plus a few younger trees. Tasks include pruning to promote fruiting, removing diseased branches, mulching around trunks, and checking for pests. I’d prefer someone with experience in orchard care and knowledge of organic or integrated pest management. Access is simple, and I can provide hose fittings if needed. Availability during weekends or weekday afternoons works best. Please include a rough estimate of hours and any relevant references.
