England, United Kingdom ECG Limited Full time

A rare opportunity has arisen for a dedicated, passionate, and professional gardener to join a knowledgeable and friendly team at Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, on the Dorset Jurassic Coast.

The history of Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens dates back to 1765, having originally been home to rare and exotic plants being brought to Britain by Georgian and Victorian plant collectors. Today it boasts one of the most varied collections of trees and shrubs in the British Isles, comprising 30-acres of beautifully curated, experimental garden, much of it designed naturalistically in the style of exotic subtropical woodlands.

As part of a team of 6 gardeners, you will be in a passionate, friendly and professional unit practising the highest horticultural standards. Applying your passion for horticulture, plants and gardens, you’ll be responsible for the maintenance and development of a key area within the garden.

No two days are the same at Abbotsbury. Your typical duties may include weeding, pruning, planting, watering, mulching and garden machinery use.

This is full time vacancy. We would, however, consider interest in part- time via a job share.

We would love to hear from you if you’re:

  • A passionate gardener with a RHS level 2 qualification, equivalent qualification, or equivalent work experience.
  • Knowledgeable about horticulture and plants, with high standards of work.
  • Confident with the safe operation of garden machinery
  • Physically fit, and capable of strenuous work.

Jobs details:

38.5 hours /week. 8-4.15 Monday-Friday with occasional weekend cover.
21 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with service.

Please submit as CV and covering letter outlining why you are suited to the position to info@abbotsbury-tourism.co.uk .

Please note, due to the large number of applications we are not always able to respond to each one.

Applications will close 1 month after listing.

This private advert is being managed directly by the employer. English Country Gardeners are not involved in the hiring process and are therefore unable to share any additional information on this role. If you have any questions regarding this position, the best course of action is to apply for the job which will open a line of communication with the employer.
