The Person
Picture this: a fresh February morning, the first hints of spring in the air. Snowdrops nod in the breeze, hellebores brighten the borders, and the garden centre buzzes with gardeners eager to plan their spring projects. The days are getting longer, the soil is waking up, and every corner of the garden hints at growth and possibility. There’s nowhere better to be than outside, helping it all come to life.
You’re someone who thrives on that sense of renewal. A gardener at heart, you love sharing your knowledge, inspiring customers, and helping them bring their spring garden visions to life. You’re approachable, professional, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people. Supporting your team comes naturally—you take pride in helping others grow their skills and feel motivated as the season blossoms.
The Role
This is a role where you can make a real impact. With full training and ongoing support, the plant area will be yours to shape and nurture. From selecting stock and building relationships with trusted growers to leading a small, enthusiastic team, you’ll set high standards and watch them flourish. 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.

A household name in UK garden retail, this company continues to grow year on year. Known for embracing fresh ideas and continual improvement, they are well-respected, financially secure, and entering the spring season full of confidence and optimism
