Solihull, United Kingdom National Trust Full time

As a Gardener, you’ll be a hands-on member of the garden team, involved in every aspect of gardening at Baddesley Clinton. Responsible for day-to-day maintenance, and the highest standards of horticulture, you’ll also play a vital role in improving the experience of visitors to the garden and wider estate.

You may be asked to work occasional weekends, bank holidays and evenings.

What it's like to work here:You'll join a team of three Gardeners, over 30 dedicated volunteers, and our beloved garden cat. The team is a friendly and warm group with a diverse range of skills and knowledge, all united by our passion for conserving and enhancing the beauty of our gardens.

Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house within a rambling Warwickshire estate. The property offers an imaginative visitor experience, with trails, activities and outdoor games throughout the year. The busy barn restaurant serves a variety of dishes, with many ingredients grown in the property’s vegetable garden. Baddesley Clinton is part of a trio of properties alongside Packwood House and Coughton Court, so collaborative working between staff and volunteers is encouraged.

Other duties might include propagation, cutting flowers for the house, preparing plants for sale and tree safety work. You may be involved in recycling and managing waste, along with the rest of the garden team.
