We are assisting clients in their search for two members of the gardening team at their beautiful private family-owned property in the North Oxfordshire area, for which we have recently finished work on restoring and renovating the historic gardens.
The roles are Estate Head Gardener and Head Grower for the cut flower business that is also run from the property.
The gardens comprise of ornamental gardens, an orchard, a productive walled garden and glasshouse, cutting gardens, gravel garden, nuttery, wildflower meadows, pond and wetland, flowering tree and shrub walk; the overall character is naturalistic alongside formal hedging, lawns and topiary providing structure.
The estate is managed according to organic principles and the existing gardeners share the owners’ passion for regenerative methods of managing landscape, promoting biodiversity and exploring and developing methods to garden with sensitivity to nature and the wider landscape, whilst simultaneously ensuring that the ornamental gardens are kept to the highest standard.
Additionally, a cut flower business is run from the estate grounds and the Estate Head Gardener will be required to assist and support in the maintenance of the cutting gardens as needed.
