    What type of gardening do you mean?

    mostly vegetable gardening. Making a raised bed and planting it. Possibly looking after it and weeding around the rest of the garden.

    Suppose it depends on who you get in, if they are qualified or not. I would think anything from 10 to 25 euro and hour but I'm open to correction on this.

    Have you had any quotes yet?

    Celtic Tiger not dead yet! A veg garden should be DIY friendly once any tricky prep work is done.

    FREE,if you do it yourself.

    Irs rather easy and aint rocket science,especially when it comes to some veggie gardening and raised veggie patches.

    Couple of 8 x 4 scaffold planks,some nice soil and a bit of manure and job done really.

    Even easier when you have someone else to do it though, eh. :D
