  • Water, prune, and carry out pest checks, and rotate stock to support plant health and presentation

  • Customer service and clear communication
  • Attention to detail and care for plant health
  • Time management and adaptability across tasks
  • Basic horticultural knowledge, or a willingness to learn
  • Confidence using inventory and ticketing systems in a garden centre environment, or the ability to learn quickly
  • Safe use of hoses, ladders, and garden equipment, along with PPE awareness
