The successful applicant will have significant input in the development of the site in terms of overall design implementation, planting, after-care and ongoing management.  The privately owned estate will not be open to the public, but will require excellent attention to detail at all times.  The successful candidate will also have input in terms of gardening assistance as the site develops, however, existing assistance is provided by way of part-time unskilled gardeners, to which you will be required to provide direction.  A proportion of the job will involve working as a Sole Gardener at times.
