Summary
An experienced gardener is required, to (with full support) bring public spaces to life with interesting plants and to engage with the public too.Detailed description
We maintain and manage community gardens across Somerset in a small and friendly team, focusing mainly on Taunton at the moment in small areas which attract a lot of positive response from passers by. We also enjoy very positive support from the local council.
Areas we look after cover a whole spectrum through pubic, private, and commercially owned land. Each is designed and managed appropriately to its own local context and for those who would benefit from its being looked after. Each site therefore is very different, though in all cases there is a focus on stimulating the local ecology, improving the environment, and introducing herbs, plants, and pollinators, and plenty of colour too.
Skills required:
- Passion and knowledge of gardening
- Creative thinking
- Enjoyment in engaging with the public
