We are recruiting two energetic and enthusiastic garden assistants; one full-time and one part-time for a private garden in Little Rollright.

The wider 500 acre estate is a diverse mixed farm.

 

The family is in residence all year round and enjoys a romantic and wild aesthetic underpinned by solid horticultural and ecological principles. Lawn care is undertaken by an outside company but regular mowing and watering is in house.

As we are recruiting two assistants, you could lean more towards some skills than others.
