Head Gardener

We have an exciting opportunity for a Head Gardener to join the team in the Heart of Cornwall portfolio, managing and caring for three exceptional gardens.
We are looking for someone to bring their passion, specialist knowledge and expertise to lead a fantastic team in caring for three beautiful yet distinct gardens at Trelissick, Glendurgan and Trerice to the highest standards, as well as enhancing access and enjoyment for local and international visitors all year round.   What it's like to work here Trelissick estate is set on its own peninsula, with panoramic views over the Fal estuary.
The woodland garden comprises meandering paths, exotic planting, sweeping lawns and herbaceous borders bursting with colour.
At the heart of the garden lies a two-acre walled garden, once famed as the 'fruit garden of Cornwall'.
For decades, this former kitchen garden has sat dormant and inaccessible.
Now we have an incredibly exciting opportunity to breathe new life back into this space in the coming years, as well as developing and empowering the team to care for a flagship garden.
At Glendurgan, three valleys join into one to create an incredibly unique garden, in which a beautiful and intriguing blend of exotic and native plants thrive.
There are impressive plants and natural beauty to be discovered at every turn, including the historic laurel maze planted 200 years ago by the Fox family, the creators of the garden.
