A family based in North London are looking to hire an experienced gardener to take care of their seven-acre grounds. The bulk of your duties are to maintain the garden, and you should have an excellent knowledge of how to properly tend to plants, flowers and vegetables, in addition to being well versed at operating garden machinery; including but not limited to push/ride mowers, strimmer, hedge cutter, chainsaw and leaf blower. The candidate would ideally have a background working on estates with large grounds, as the garden is vast and features various water features, a kitchen garden, tennis courts and a paddock with stables. The garden is formal in parts, but the principal really likes a relaxed style – and colour all year round. Currently there is a part time gardener who attends to the grounds twice a week. The candidate should be proactive and self-motivated, with a can-do attitude. The principals are willing to be flexible with regards to the salary, in order to secure the right candidate for this lovely live-out position.
