Garden Labourer

A Garden Labourer assists with the care of gardens, parks and landscaped areas. You might prepare areas for planting, including levelling sites and developing soil. Garden Labourers plant trees and shrubs and maintain them through trimming, weeding and pruning. You might ensure irrigation systems are working effectively and keep lawn areas mown and fertilised.

Garden Labourers should enjoy working outdoors and be prepared to work in a range of weather conditions. You’ll need to be physically fit and capable of various types of manual labour. Garden Labourers must be able to follow instructions and work as part of a team.
