The Garden Manager role is very varied and full of challenges - no two days are the same.
I am a career changer - after being in agricultural business I decided horticulture was for me at 30 and retrained in garden design at Pershore College. After two years part-time study whilst working for a landscaper I followed my parents into a landscaping business back here in my native Devon, which I ran for a further 3 years. The job coming up at Rosemoor coincided with starting a family so I decided to opt for employment so I could be around for them growing up! The Garden Manager role is very varied and full of challenges, from drawing up plant lists to monitoring the temperature averages in our compost heaps to organising staff work schedules - no two days are the same.
