Success Stories
At Arne Maynard Garden Design we are often looking for really special gardeners to work closely with us and our clients. Mark Read at English Country Gardeners is extremely knowledgeable, personable and really goes above and beyond to seek out the best candidates for our client’s gardens both in the UK and the USA. We trust Mark explicitly in his approach and highly recommend contacting him for your recruitment needs – he is an absolute pleasure to work with.
We used English Country Gardeners to recruit a Head Gardener and more recently another gardener to join our team. On both occasions ECG have been incredibly efficient and provided quality candidates for interviews. The recruitment team are responsive, professional and have made recruiting gardeners effortless.
I have used English Country Gardeners, both as a job applicant and as an Employer, for many years and have always found them responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with. The calibre of gardeners has always been high and a great fit for the jobs advertised.
We are absolutely delighted with the gardener recruited through English Country Gardeners. Their help in forming the brief and selecting a short list demonstrated a real knowledge of the market and was incredibly valuable.
English Country Gardeners assisted me with the process of recruiting two gardeners for two different properties. Sophie Sharpe and her team were extremely friendly, professional and ready to answer any queries we had regarding the process. I would highly recommend English Country Gardeners for any recruiting needs.

Every year, more people get involved in 'No Mow May' - leaving lawns to grow in support of pollinators and biodiversity.🌱
On the surface, it’s a great idea - more flowers, more habitat, more awareness. But in practice, how does it work for the Professional Gardener?
It does raise a few questions:
– Does it deliver long-term biodiversity benefits?
– How does it work in managed spaces like estates or public gardens?
– Does it create more work later when areas need restoring?
– Are there alternatives (meadow planting, selective mowing etc?)
Are you a fan of No Mow May? 🌿
We are curious to hear different perspectives on this hot topic👇
