    Gardener - Solihull, United Kingdom - National Trust

    Default job background
    Freelance, Part time
    Description

    You'll be a hands-on member of the garden team, involved in every aspect of gardening at Packwood House. Responsible for day-to-day maintenance, and the highest standards of horticulture, with a focus on the herbaceous borders, you'll also play a vital role in improving the experience of visitors to the garden and wider estate.

    You'll be required to work one weekend in six, some bank holidays and occasional evenings.

    Reporting to the Head Gardener you'll join a team of 6 Gardeners, and will be supervising volunteers and a Grade 10 Gardener.

    The team are focused on conservation projects, as well as providing an exceptional family-friendly visitor experience. The new café serves a delicious selection of produce grown in Packwood's kitchen garden. Packwood House is part of a trio of properties alongside Baddesley Clinton and Coughton Court, so collaborative working between staff and volunteers is encouraged.

    You'll be helping to keep the garden in tiptop condition every day. This will involve daily checks to make sure all areas are safe for people visiting, routine tasks such as weeding, pruning and mulching, and using machinery such as hedge cutters, leaf blowers, lawnmowers and tractors.

    Other duties will include propagation, planting and maintenance of seasonal borders including tender perennials, and garden design and restoration. You may be involved in recycling and managing waste, along with the rest of the garden team.

    We'd love to hear from you if you're:

    • an enthusiastic horticulturist and hands-on gardener, who's worked with hard landscaping before
    • knowledgeable about plants, with a great eye for detail.
    • experienced with machinery, including tractors, chainsaws, rotary and cylinder mowers, and with some knowledge of maintenance
    • a driver with a full licence
    • able to manage a demanding outdoor role
    • good at talking to, and getting on with, all kinds of people
    • equally confident working within a team, with volunteers or on your own
    • able to keep to time, plan and meet deadlines
