“We can teach all the skills that are needed, but we can’t teach a can-do attitude and an interest in creating beautiful spaces. If you want a job just cutting grass or weeding paving blocks, then Wilkinsons isn’t the right place for you, but if you find joy in transforming dreary garden into a vibrant flower-filled oasis, make sure to visit.”

“Our work is hugely varied and those who join us will be turning their hands to carpentry and joinery as well working with customers to design the garden of their dreams. For me, the best part of the job is a sense of satisfaction when all of your hard work has come to fruition and everything is blooming and looking amazing.
