Sole Gardener
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced, qualified and physically fit Sole Gardener to join a stunning historic private estate in Hampshire on a full-time permanent basis. This role will suit a knowledgeable horticulturist with extensive hands-on management experience on large private estate gardens, as well as a proven ability to work well on their own.
The 300-year-old property is owned by a knowledgeable gardener and has been managed for nearly nine years by an employed Sole Gardener. The garden has been lovingly maintained and developed over this time, such that it is of paramount importance to source a genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable person to continue the legacy. The current Sole Gardener will leave the post in May and will be available until this time to ensure a smooth transition into the role for the successful applicant.
The gardens of 6-acres comprise expansive lawns, large beech and yew hedges, young, mature and veteran trees, large herbaceous perennial borders, shrubs, a small orchard, a swimming pool, a tennis court and a Georgian walled garden containing 800 David Austin roses. Wisteria and climbing roses decorate the ancient walls and will require delicate and timely pruning to ensure their continued form. The property does not contain a kitchen garden or a glasshouse so skills associated with such management will not be required for this role. The garden is maintained to a very high standard and requires efficient planning and an associated knowledge of plant behaviour throughout the seasons.
The garden has been successfully maintained by the current Sole Gardener for the past nine years, however specialist contractors will be brought in where necessary, i.e. for aerial tree work, however the successful applicant should be confident in their ability to undertake the management of large hedges (and associated equipment) and in their pace of work in general. Attention to detail and a high standard of care is expected at all times.
Suitable candidates will hold demonstrable experience in a similar role as well as academic horticultural qualifications at Level 2, ideally Level 3 or above. Experience in species-specific pruning is essential, as is good general plant knowledge, spray applicators, ride-on cylinder mowers and basic machinery maintenance. A lawncare contractor attends the property twice yearly, however the Sole Gardener should be experienced in this area to ensure a good standard of health on a year-round basis. A full driving licence is required as, although on the edge of a small village, the property is located rurally.
This is an excellent opportunity for a suitably qualified and experienced gardener to join a stunning historic private estate in a beautiful part of the country, on a full-time permanent basis. The owner is a knowledgeable garden lover and looks to build a long term, positive, and enjoyable working relationship with the successful candidate.

Part-time Gardener - Live Out - EC8125 - This position has now been filled
Part-time Gardener required
An opportunity has arisen for a Skilled Gardener to play a key role in the ongoing development and maintenance of a private estate near Hambledon in Hampshire, on a 2-3 day/week basis. This opportunity is open to self-employed gardeners who can demonstrate a thorough understanding of horticulture with excellent plant identification and time management skills.
The compact garden of approximately one-acre surrounds the house and is bordered by paddocks and copses extending approximately four-acres. Located in a rural hamlet, the garden comprises lawns, herbaceous and perennial borders, mature and young trees, gravel areas and pathways, flagstone paving, climbing plants and shrubs throughout. The garden is in the process of redesign and planting and as such, the new role is focussed on design implementation and the associated application of necessary horticultural knowledge. The property does not currently include a kitchen garden or glasshouse, though this is something that is planned. The expertise of the successful applicant will be drawn upon for this purpose specifically, in addition to that of the duties outlined below.
Heavy maintenance work is carried out by local garden contractors on a part-time basis, with assistance on the finer horticultural aspects currently being provided by a freelance Skilled Gardener. The latter will be moving on from the role in early 2020, hence the requirement for a new Skilled Gardener to join the estate. The successful applicant will be required to undertake general garden maintenance such as bed/border management and planting, pruning, and general seasonal garden management. In addition to the above, other small maintenance tasks will be required to a lesser degree; raking gravel, sweeping of terraces, maintenance of outdoor paintwork and the water feature, for example. At present, there is no requirement for mowing of lawns or paddocks, though this may be something that could be requested in instances where the maintenance contractors are on holiday.
Suitable candidates are likely to be self-employed, should hold an academic horticultural qualification and/or extensive gardening experience, possess good plant identification skills, good physical fitness, an ability to operate and carry out basic maintenance of garden machinery, and have a thorough understanding of seasonal garden management throughout the seasons. Spray certificates (PA1/PA6) would be beneficial and a driving licence essential due to the rural location of the property.
This is an excellent opportunity for a local freelance gardener to become involved with a garden at an early stage of redevelopment and planting. A generous hourly rate is offered in line with experience.

Skilled Gardener - Live Out - EC7999 - This position has now been filled
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).
