About

I recently enjoyed being the gardener at Willington Manor House under the previous owner. My main weekly duties included maintaining the 10 acre site with 4 acre ornamental beds, pruning shrubs and herbaceous plants, weeding and keeping paving and graveled areas neat & tidy.

I regularly maintain a modern ornamental communal garden in Newnham, Cambridge with a large Wisteria pergola, bicycle parking with a living roof and sunken gardens with resilient planting.

I look after several domestic gardens with lawns and a wide range of large shrubs and small trees herbaceous and evergreen, border and container grown.

I also work part-time at Coton Orchard garden centre in Cambridge as a Hardy plants team member - in addition looking after David Austen & Fryer's Roses.

I am looking for work based in the area between Cambridge and Marston Moretaine.
