Full Time Gardener – West Wycombe
Location: West Wycombe countryside HP14
Working Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday. 40 hours per week
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000 depending on experience
About the Garden
Set across 120 acres of stunning Buckinghamshire countryside, this private home features formal lawns, a kitchen garden, and a variety of mature planting. The estate is currently cared for by a contracted gardening team, but the principal is looking to bring the role in-house and hire a full-time, hands-on gardener to take full ownership of the grounds.
Role Responsibilities
This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced gardener who enjoys working independently and has a passion for keeping large private gardens flourishing. You’ll be responsible for all aspects of garden maintenance, including lawn care, pruning, seasonal planting, and upkeep of the kitchen garden.
The role will also include operating garden machinery (including ride-ons), managing external contractors, and helping to keep the grounds beautifully presented year-round.
You’ll work closely with the principal to maintain and develop the garden according to his vision, and you’ll have the space to make the role your own.
