Gardener Opportunity

Gardener Opportunity

Exciting opportunity for an experienced, self-motivated gardener to work the established, but by no means complete, garden of Barwhillanty in SW Scotland. The extensive mature woodland garden is interwoven with ponds and a formal walled garden including a glass house and raised vegetable beds.  

The gardens are occasionally open to the public through weddings and events. There are also a number of holiday cottages on the estate that require adhoc garden work.

Suitable qualifications and references essential.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate experience in the above and:

• Be able to work under his/her own initiative whilst maintaining exceptional standards of horticulture.
• Have an excellent understanding of trees, shrubs, plants and the natural environment
• Be hospitable and a good communicator both publicly and within the estate team
• It would be beneficial to be capable of undertaking the light maintenance of machinery
• Showing an interest in teaching may also be beneficial
