You’ll be responsible for maintaining and developing the varied horticultural areas in the garden. These range from Woodland Gardens, a significant 1930’s Rockery, topiary and a productive Kitchen Garden and the spring bulbs for which the garden is most well-known. You’ll also be responsible for helping with excellent communication of our work, ensuring that everyone feels welcome.

Other duties include propagation, preparing plants for sale, tree safety work and garden design and restoration. You'll be involved in recycling and managing waste, composting, along with the rest of the garden team.
