Estate Gardener - Farley Hill, Reading

Salary up to £30,000 per annum

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Estate Gardener to join a dedicated team of two full-time gardeners responsible for the care and maintenance of an exceptional garden of over 20 acres. Designed by Charles Bridgeman in 1729, this is a rare and historically significant landscape, comprising formal gardens, sweeping lawns, woodland, a kitchen garden, a water garden, and a walled garden. This is a wonderful opportunity for a skilled horticulturalist who takes genuine pride in their work and is eager to develop their knowledge and craft within a historic estate setting.

The gardens at Farley Hill are a fine example of early eighteenth-century landscape design. The successful candidate will be joining a small, hard-working team working to improve the garden to an exceptional standard. The breadth and variety of the landscape, from formal parterres to parkland to productive kitchen garden and ornamental water features, offers a genuinely rewarding environment for a gardener who wants to deepen their horticultural expertise.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Lawns & Hard Landscaping - Mowing, edging and general lawn care using ride-on and pedestrian mowers. Maintaining paths, gravel areas, steps and hard landscaping features to a consistently high standard.
Planting & Borders - Pruning of trees, shrubs, hedges and climbers at the correct time of year. Planting trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, bulbs and seasonal bedding. Weeding, mulching, feeding, and general maintenance of beds and borders.
Propagation & Growing - Watering plants, containers and glasshouse crops. Propagation, including seed sowing, cuttings, and division.
Plant Health - Monitoring and treating pests, diseases and weeds using appropriate and responsible methods.
Machinery & Equipment - Safe operation of horticultural machinery including mowers, strimmer, hedge trimmers and chainsaws (subject to certification).
Estate Duties - Supporting wider estate duties, including assistance at events and open days.

A full job specification is available on request.

An interest in building a long-term career within a historic estate of exceptional significance and prestige.
A flexible, positive, and collaborative approach to work.
