Our Team
Meet Our
Team of
Gardeners
Between us we have a wide variety of experience, gained through the work we do at Beautiful Borders, previous employment and personal interest. Many of the team members hold a horticultural qualification, mostly RHS, or are working towards one. We have developed our own in-house training programme covering many areas of horticulture, from fruit tree pruning to clematis and rose care. We all have a keen interest in vegetable growing!
We are always in search of skilled gardeners, so please get in touch if you would like to know more about joining our team!
