The Gardeneer Concept

Being a gardeneer is an alternative to being a small scale commercial organic apprentice. As a gardeneer you aim to be the on site helper for a landowner/family as supposed to a cog in a commercial organic machine.
This could be thought of as a form of progressive share cropping which is usually thought of as a negative scenario. However in this scenario the landowner is happy to have a trained and knowledgable helper and the gardeneer is happy to have a 3 season home. 

​There are 4 levels of training:

Level 1

I.e. forestry: 
knowledge of all the trees and possible uses as well as the tools and is able to assist the person cutting, loading and stacking it in a tidy fashion. 

Level 3

Level 3 is also capable of running a saw till the cows come home.

Level 2

All the knowledge of a level 1 and also proficient at splitting wood by hand or machine.

Level 4

Can manage a whole forest and can with a skitter or horses. 

These examples also apply to Carpentry, Landscaping and Gardening
