Advise the estate owners on garden improvements, new planting initiatives, and landscape enhancements.
Maintain accurate records of planting, maintenance schedules, and expenditure.
Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and safe working practices.
Assist with the preparation of gardens for private events and special occasions when required.
