My day… includes working in all areas of these wonderful gardens and the nursery that nurtures all of the season’s bedding plants. I prefer weeding and edging, but our ancient maze needs constant attention, the rose garden needs pruning and the fruit trees need to be trained up walls.

I receive constant training and can also attend college to study for horticultural certificates.

You need to be:  Fit and strong, and able to work outdoors in all weathers.

Highlights:  I love riding the sit-on mower! My favourite jobs are weeding and edging. I have just designed a bedding scheme and can’t wait to see it turned into reality and to see the visitors’ faces enjoying my creation.
