Couple
Couple required
A rare opportunity has arisen for a Skilled Gardener to take ownership of an impressive private garden near Wye in Kent, with 2-3hrs/day housekeeping duties offered to a partner. Applications are sought from suitable couples with experience in each respective area. The minimal housekeeping duties will allow the candidate their own time to maintain other activities for most of each day, i.e. working from home etc.
The stunning Georgian property is owned by a family of six and has benefitted from management by a gardener for the past 41-years, though the present owners have only been in the property for the last three years. The current Gardener will be moving to a nearby house in early 2021 and whilst nearing retirement age will continue to work in the garden alongside a new Gardener, who in time will take over full time. This is therefore an excellent opportunity for a skilled and knowledgeable gardener to move into a position of responsibility, or for an experienced Sole/Senior Gardener to take on an attractive new role on a live-in basis, alongside their partner.
The large historic property encompasses approximately 20-acres of lawns, woodland, a river and a stream, mixed bed/borders and flower beds. The gardens require full time attention from the gardener and although the woods are maintained by contractors, they would still require some basic maintenance at times. Duties include mowing of the lawns (approximately 1.5 days per week), hedge cutting, flower bed maintenance, edging, weed control, stream clearing, shrubbery maintenance, management of herbaceous borders, roses, ornamental pots, riverside plantings, plus other general garden maintenance duties. There is currently no kitchen garden on site and no plans to create one, however glasshouse and plant propagation will be required and as such, applicants must have experience in raising plants from cuttings and seed. There is also a regular requirement for 'handyman' jobs around the estate, though the primary focus of the role is gardening and horticulture. Help from an assistant gardener in the summer months is available in one section of the garden, on a limited basis.
Suitable candidates for the Gardener role will have strong horticultural knowledge and time management skills, ideally with experience in a similar position; either in a position of seniority and/or responsibility as a Sole Gardener. Good strength and physical fitness are essential as the role may involve heavy lifting and extended periods of hedge cutting with machinery, for example. Applicants should have experience in the operation and basic maintenance of machinery, such as cylinder and ride-on mowers, long-reach hedge cutters and ideally, chainsaws. Experience in species-specific pruning (including roses), basic plant pest and disease control and plant propagation is required, as well as a positive attitude and an ability to work alongside the property owners in a creative and constructive way. The successful candidate will be easy to get on with, have good interpersonal and social skills, be proactive, loyal, a hard worker, gets on well with children and is reliable and trustworthy.
Housekeeping duties will be general and basic, such that professional experience in this area is not required, though always beneficial. A combined salary will be offered as stated below, with accommodation provided. A DBS/criminal background check will be asked of the successful candidate.
SALARY: Circa £35,000 + Accommodation
LOCATION: Kent

Skilled Gardener
Ref - EC7367
Skilled Gardener required.
A rare and fantastic opportunity has arisen on an historic private estate near Winchester, for an experienced gardener with dedication, flexibility and a passion for garden management. This role would suit a knowledgeable gardener with excellent time management skills, good physical fitness and a demonstrable understanding of the considerations required on private estates.
The property has a very strong history, dating back nearly 3000 years in terms of being a known settlement. The present property and garden are a mere 300 years old in their current form, with the gardens being developed throughout this time by the respective owners. The pleasure gardens encompass 22-acres and are surrounded on three sides by a ha-ha, a pinetum and large collection of young and mature native and exotic trees, a lake, fountains and a natural spring, parterres, formal lawns, mixed and perennial/herbaceous borders, a rose garden, Temple Garden, Orangery, walks and paths, a walled garden (in need of repair), courtyard areas and numerous container planting, with specimen trees throughout. The estate is open to the public for one day per year as part of the National Garden Scheme.
The property owners are private and traditional in keeping with the style and history of the estate and its management to date, so are looking to appoint a Skilled Gardener with experience on estates of a similar nature. Following the retirement of a dedicated Gardener of 20-years, contractors have been brought in to assist with the garden, however there is now a desire to employ a full-time permanent Skilled Gardener with the ability and willingness to dedicate their time to the deserving site.
Applicants for this position may be academically qualified but must, more importantly, be able to demonstrate by previous experience their knowledge and understanding of hands-on garden management on large and horticulturally diverse private estates. Applicants should have extensive experience (and ideally some certification) with a range of garden/estate machinery, i.e. tractors, chainsaws, chemical spray applicators, hedge cutters, strimmers, ride-on and pedestrian mowers, blowers etc. Candidates must have strong knowledge of seasonal garden/plant management, excellent time management skills, and must be team players with a flexible and a helpful approach at all times.
The varying seasonal duties of the successful candidate will be supplemented by external contractors where necessary and as such, an ability to work alongside other gardeners as with other estate team members, with sensitivity and diplomacy, is essential. A full UK driving licence is required for this role. Due to the nature of the site and the preference of the welcoming owners, discretion and sensitivity is required at all times.
In addition to a salary in line with the successful candidate’s experience, private health care is offered as well as a pension scheme, whereby the employer will contribute a generous 9.5% (with the employee contributing 4%). Annual holiday entitlement is 28-days (including Bank Holidays).
