We are looking to recruit a passionate and skilled Head Gardener to join our team at Holker.  Holker Hall is one of the UK’s best-loved stately homes and the gardens are renowned as a plantsperson’s garden with immaculate presentation.

This is an opportunity for a creative individual to lead and develop a team of gardeners, to express ideas and build on the legacy of innovation that is at the heart of the garden.
