The Person
Imagine this: a clear January morning, the promise of a new year ahead, and a garden poised for what’s to come. Snowdrops and hellebores are already putting on a show, evergreen displays are looking sharp, and there’s a real sense of anticipation as gardeners begin planning for the season ahead. It’s a time full of possibility—and there’s no better place to be than outdoors.
You’re someone who thrives on that feeling of a fresh start. A gardener at heart, you enjoy sharing your knowledge and helping customers make confident choices, whether they’re planning for spring or refreshing their gardens for the year ahead. You’re approachable, professional, and genuinely enjoy working with people. Supporting your team comes naturally to you too—you take pride in helping others grow, develop their skills, and start the year feeling motivated and inspired.
The Role
This role offers responsibility and real ownership. You’ll receive full training and ongoing support, but the plant area will be yours to shape and develop. From deciding on stock ranges and working with trusted growers to leading a small, enthusiastic team, you’ll have the freedom to make an impact and set high standards. It’s a role you can take real pride in. Alongside a competitive salary, you’ll enjoy sociable working hours, and while weekend work is part of the role, you’ll benefit from every other weekend off.
