Experienced Gardener (Auckland)

Auckland | Full-time | $30-40 per hour| Closing date: 31May 2026

Start your next chapter with Second Nature! We just won 3 of the top awards at the Landscapes of Distinction Awards in August– taking out the 2025 Supreme Award and we were also named Premier Horticulture and Maintenance winners for our work on the “Ponsonby Garden” garden project. We are experts at creating outstanding gardens that are a unique and innovative response to both our clients' needs and the surrounding environment.

Having operated for 28 years we are on the lookout for our next super experienced gardener and/or Team Leader to help us cultivate beautiful spaces (like this one) for our clients. Both roles are hands-on, full-time, permanent positions, undertaking all garden maintenance tasks on our clients’ premium residential sites around Auckland.
