This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate gardener to help shape and develop a historic garden in east Suffolk. With a sunny walled garden, greenhouses, ponds, lawns and centuries old fruit trees, this is a fulfilling role and a ‘job for life’ for the right candidate.

The role includes sole responsibility for seed sowing, propagating, planting of beds and pruning, mowing and care of large lawn areas (with a ride-on mower), tending to fruit trees, including indoor peach trees, spraying of weeds and nettles, chopping firewood and replenishing stock in the house as well as basic maintenance of garden machinery and other duties from time to time. While it is not necessary to have completed formal horticultural or estate management training, a good knowledge and experience of nurturing plants and a willingness to learn are essential.
