One of my top Head Gardeners, currently based in Cambridgeshire. From 1990 until December 2018, he was the Head Gardener on large country estate. This position was initially a Summer role for Lee when he left school, but the owner was very keen to keep him on, and invested in his horticultural training while keeping him on a permanent basis. The estate has changed owners three times, so he has been very involved in managing new projects, creating new spaces, and coming up with new designs for the Garden. His skills include; kitchen gardens, formal lawns, woodland management, herbaceous borders, garden maintenance, garden design, hard & soft landscaping, swimming pools & tennis courts, staff management, budget management, use and maintenance of machinery, overseeing contractors, and working with animals. He a very strong candidate; knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging. He interviewed very well, and I have no doubt that he would be more than capable of taking on a Head Gardener of Estate Manager role.
