head gardener (CV available)

Jonathan Radford is currently searching for a suitable and stimulating head gardener position, either in Italy or the UK.
Jonathan is an enthusiastic, hard working individual who has over 20 years of gardening experience both in the UK and Italy where he has lived for the past 16 years. During this time he has held many head gardener positions in various estates and prestigious gardens.
He is specialised in the creation of low water/maintenance gardens with a strong Italian flavour but he has worked on renovation projects and run landscape maintenance businesses in the UK. His business 'Enchanted gardens' was set up in his early teens and followed years of various forest and garden renovations which can all be seen at the photo gallery on this website.
He was trained as a professional horticuralist at the West Sussex college of horticulture, where he gained a phase I City and Guilds in commercial horticulture and an NCH in landscaping and landscape design.
He is currently looking to return to the UK to seek out challenging hands-on gardening projects and to live and work in a country where gardening is taken seriously.
If, however the same kind of stimulating role can be found in Italy with serious clients who offer challenging projects where his skills can be fully expressed then he would clearly be keen to discuss such a position.
