What is Gardener or Head Gardener for Private Household? How to hire a gardener?


What is a Gardener ?

A gardener is responsible for the maintenance of the grounds of an estate or estates, notably green and flowered areas.
They must ensure that all gardens, lawns, flowerbeds, flowers, greenhouses, vegetable plots, trees, shrubs and bushes are healthy and well-tended to. 

If necessary, the gardener will also outsource and supervise more demanding work that exceeds his or her responsibilities and/or competencies.

The gardener will also oversee and manage the ordering of supplies and equipment necessary for the upkeep of the property grounds.  

Our gardeners must be highly experienced professionals with a good eye for colour, expert knowledge in the care of fauna and flora, and strong creative flare. They will be expected to be able to shape shrubbery and bushes, design flowerbeds and parkland into areas of outstanding beauty and relaxation.

Gardeners are expected to work closely with the house manager or butler, and collaborate in preparations for events. 

What are the responsibilities of a Gardener ?

This role varies according to the type and size of the garden, as well as the personal preferences of the employer. Responsibilities may range from smaller tasks such as simply tending to the lawn, to overseeing an immense and multifaceted garden, including project managing, landscaping and minor construction or repair work.

The gardener is generally responsible for maintaining garden machinery and equipment. It is extremely important that the client feel reassured that the property's grounds are being well maintained. 

How to select or Find a Gardener?

It is critical to know how to find your business ideal gardener. You may need a routine maintenance gardener, one-off visits in the gardens or greater landscape work as a company employing a gardener. As a company, therefore, you must guarantee that you employ the appropriate gardener for the job you need, because every position needs your own expertise and experience. It is also important that, apart from hiring gardeners according to your desires, the person adapts to your company, your culture and the rest of the employees.

Gardeners offer a large number of services, and the type of gardening you require must be considered exactly. This can range from plant and floral specialists to heavy grass cutting, bush cutting and weaving.

Morgan&Mallet finds for you applicants with high experience and qualifications. They have proven professional approaches, competences and accountability, with all credentials and certificates needed.

What accommodation could you expect as a Gardener ?

Gardeners generally live off the property, however this does depend on the employer’s expectations and levels of upkeep required. 

As a business, you can look for a gardener with his own transport and equipment. Additionally, all of your equipment can be licensed to you and only need to show in your company. You have the correct option for yourself, so we will meet all requirements.

If a trustworthy gardener is required, a suitable employee will be checked for time. We find the perfect gardener for you and your colleagues, as a qualified private gardener service, which meets your demands.

In addition to taking care of your garden according to your orders, a qualified gardener understands always which horticultural work must be done at all times of the year in the garden and is thus allowed to schedule the work independently and organize the work optimally.

The qualified gardener knows exactly what the plants are expecting and which plants grow optimally in which location. He also knows growing plants can be mixed to get an attractive picture both seasons. When the plow has to be cut and fertilized on crops or the digging of roses or livelihoods is carried out, the skilled gardener knows precisely.

All our gardeners are required to:

  • Hold clean criminal records in both their country of employment and country of origin
  • Present all certificates and qualifications from training centres and/or schools they attended
  • Successfully pass two interview stages
  • Provide at least three positive references from previous employers
  • Complete professional dossiers containing: CV, cover letter, proof of identity (photocopy or scan), proof of address, proof of the right to work in the country of employment (if applicable), driving license and pay slips from previous professional placements.  Candidates should be aware that other documentation may also be required.

Morgan & Mallet International places and recruits gardeners for temporary, seasonal or permanent contracts. Our recruitment consultants are always available to answer your questions.
