They hold a passion for plants and understands their aesthetic potential and as a company they love creating and maintaining beautiful gardens. Carefully considered planting has the power to transform outdoor spaces, and they specialise in designing and producing wonderful gardens that are successful year after year. As a team they are professional, agile, innovative, and deliver outstanding customer service which is reflected in their longstanding customers and partners. As the company expands, they are now seeking a passionate and enthusiastic gardener to join their professional and skilled horticulturalist team.
