Description
WHAT WE DO?
We are a purely residential gardening company who are lucky to have clients, not simply one-off customers.
Predominately working in significantly large and established gardens we offer reliable and regular support to our clients with knowledge and standards of which we remain proud. Our expertise lie in the curation and development of plants and bedding. Lawns and perimeter hedging is not the game we play!

We could be looking for you! This is a leadership role. We garden in pairs and not only does this role require an ability to mentor and support an Assistant Gardener, but also be able to conceive and implement fresh ideas for our clients.
As a purely residential gardening company, an ability to connect with and nurture client relationships is a MUST.
We are seeking a qualified or highly experienced individual who can demonstrate plant knowledge and ability.
WHY 'THE GARDENING GENT'?
We are looking for ladies or gents! Our company name is set to demonstrate our way of working and our intentions to demonstrate what a 'Gent' stands for - i.e working with honesty, integrity, knowledge and kindness.
Offering residential gardening only and no commercial work we were founded upon the pillars of building long lasting relationships and maintaining a garden throughout the seasons.
Offering a supportive, collaborative and friendly working environment - come dig in!
