Full job description

Nursery Grower (Organic Tree & Hedge plants)

Location: West Berkshire, UK
Position Type: Full-Time
Salary: £30,000-35,000 dependent on experience (DOE)
Reports To: Farm Manager

About the Role

We are a specialist, sustainable organic tree, hedge plant and perennial nursery producing approximately 150,000 plants annually. We are seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Nursery Grower to manage the full growing cycle—from seed through to plant sales preparation.

This is a hands-on role requiring strong horticultural knowledge alongside a structured, data-driven approach. The successful candidate will play a key role in growing plants from seed, soil health management, compliance with plant healthy and organic standards, and day-to-day nursery operations.

The nursery sits within a small and developing regenerative farm. It is essential that the Nursery Grower works with and understands the ambitions of the small farming team.

Key Responsibilities

Propagation & Plant Production

Plan and oversee the sowing and propagation of up to 150,000 seeds annually
Propagation of other trees, shrubs and perennials through various vegetative propagation methods
Monitor germination rates and maintain accurate production records
Manage plant care, including irrigation, weeding, and environmental conditions to ensure healthy growth

Soil Health & Organic Growing

Maintain and improve soil fertility using organic methods and biological principles
Develop and manage composting systems appropriate to nursery production
Create and apply organic soil amendments, compost teas, and other natural inputs

Data Management & Compliance

Maintain accurate and audit-ready records in line with UK organic certification standards
Ensure compliance with plant health regulations and implement organic pest and disease control (IPM)
Track stock levels throughout the growing cycle

Grading & Sales Preparation

Grade plants according to size, quality, and readiness for sale
Organise and oversee packaging, labelling, and quality control for dispatch

Continuous Improvement

Review seasonal performance to identify improvements and inform future crop planning
Research and implement innovative organic growing techniques to improve productivity and plant quality
Attend industry events/ relevant courses to stay current with organic and regenerative growing practices

Operational Support

Supervise seasonal staff during peak periods (sowing, grading, packing)
Maintain awareness of sales channels to support effective production planning

Skills & Experience

Essential

Excellent interpersonal skills and adaptability for working in a small team
Practical experience in plant propagation and organic plant growing
Strong understanding of organic growing principles and soil health
Good record-keeping and organisational skills
Ability to manage workload independently and as part of a team
Keen interest in using technology or AI tools to improve efficiency
Willing to work outside all year round
Some weekend working will be required
Valid UK driving licence

Desirable

Qualification in Horticulture, Agriculture, or a related field
Experience with plant production at scale
Familiarity with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets) for tracking data
Experience leading or supervising small teams

Personal Attributes and Opportunities

Passion for sustainable and organic growing
Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to quality
Flexible and adaptable in a dynamic working environment
Collaborative and a good fit for a small team

Summary

This is an excellent opportunity for a committed grower to take ownership of production within a forward-thinking nursery; one of a very few organic tree and hedge plant nurseries in the UK. The role offers scope for innovation, development, and meaningful impact on sustainable plant production.
