Head Gardener
6 months ago
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and skilled gardener to help lead a small team, in the role of head gardener, at a historic garden in Holland Park, London.
This private garden has a large walled garden with veteran trees, fruit trees, bulb studded wildflower meadows, mown lawns, wall trained climbers and many flower borders. There is an unheated glasshouse where more tender plants are grown. The mixed flower borders have been extensively rejuvenated in the past two years and include a rich variety of shrubs, herbaceous perennials, climbers, bedding pockets for seasonal displays, bulb layers and successional planting combinations. The current friendly and enthusiastic team of gardeners are raising many plants in house, both from seed and propagation by cuttings. Displays are made within large pots in several places across the garden. In collaboration with our hands-on garden advisor, the newly appointed head gardener will be expected to build on this, and further the renewal of other parts of the garden.
We are looking for a friendly, caring, discreet and considerate, organised person who brings with them an energy for creating an inspiring atmosphere and a passion for the style of gardening. The garden is now entirely organic; peat free potting composts, electric machinery and biological controls for pests and diseases are used. Experience managing perennial native wild flower meadows would be beneficial.
The job demands a hands-on approach to leadership as the team is small. Currently the garden employs three part time gardeners, one of whom acts as hands-on garden advisor. The head gardener will be responsible for organising contractors to work in the garden when required, and should be able to ensure safe working for the team.
