Job Description
Experienced Garden Maintenance & Aftercare Gardener
This isn’t just maintenance. This is stewardship.
At Bushy Business, we have been making and maintaining gardens that matter since 1996.
We create and maintain the spaces where you enjoy the moments that matter.
We care for high-quality private gardens where detail, consistency and long-term thinking define the result. These are not gardens that are simply maintained. They are managed, developed and improved over time.
We are looking for an experienced gardener who takes pride in doing things properly and wants to be part of a professional, ambitious team.
The Role
You will be part of our Maintenance & Aftercare team, responsible for the ongoing care of high-end private gardens.

* Lawn care, hedge cutting and fine pruning
* Detailed border management and seasonal planting
* Training and shaping shrubs, climbers and fruit trees
* Irrigation checks and monitoring plant health
* Maintaining hard landscaping elements
* Working professionally with clients on site
This is skilled horticulture. Not basic maintenance.
What We’re Looking For
You will:
* Have 4+ years’ experience in garden maintenance or horticulture
* Have strong plant knowledge and understand seasonal management
* Hold a full UK driving licence
* Communicate clearly and professionally
* Take ownership of your work and maintain high standards
Desirable but not essential:
o Level 2 Horticulture qualification or higher
o PA1 / PA6
o Irrigation knowledge
o Machinery certificates
Most importantly, you care about quality and consistency.
What You’ll Get
We build careers, not just fill roles.
o Work on high-quality private gardens
o Ongoing training and development
o Clear progression opportunities
o A skilled and supportive team
o Private medical insurance
o Life insurance
o Cycle to Work and Home & Tech schemes
o Team events
o Birthday cake and beer

Because good gardens require proper care.
Because the right team makes the difference.
