Requirements
Experienced gardener sought to join a skilled, committed grounds team working to exceptional standards. Much of the work is in a formal garden, so hands-on experience with topiary, rose gardens and herbaceous borders is essential. Experience of caring for newly developed landscapes would be a real advantage, as parts of the estate are still settling in.
This role suits a methodical, practical gardener who takes pride in precise, detailed work and is equally comfortable working independently or as part of a close team.
