Job Details

The Royal Horticultural Society is the world’s leading gardening charity, devoted to inspiring everyone to grow and sharing the best in gardening and horticulture. Our existing four Gardens are a key part of this vision. They are amongst the finest in the country, showcasing the best in horticulture, as well as being centres of learning and major visitor destinations. RHS Bridgewater will be our fifth garden and marks a significant milestone in the continuing growth of the organisation within the U.K.

You would be joining the RHS at the most exciting time in its 211 year history with major investments being made across the organisation.

This key role would be responsible for the care and cultivation of all areas of fine turf, grassland and species-rich meadows across the garden and for contributing to the delivery of the garden rejuvenation project.
