We're hiring a casual horticulturist in Sydney.

We are, we should confess, plant people. Lately there have been more gardens than plant people to go round, so we're looking for one more.

SurrealScapes designs, builds and looks after gardens across Sydney, mostly planting-led:

endemic species, healthy soil, and old sandstone reused rather than sent off in a skip. You'd work alongside horticulturists Alexa and Lucas on maintenance visits and planting installs, in private gardens and shared landscapes.

What the days look like
Pruning, weeding, planting, mulching and soil improvement
Watching for pests and disease, and doing something sensible about them
Installing, checking and fixing irrigation
Helping on planting installs, from bed preparation to the last plant in the ground
Leaving every site tidier than we found it

Who we'd like to meet
You can tell a Lomandra from a Dianella without the label (or you're well on the way)
Hands-on garden maintenance or landscaping experience,



ideally in Sydney
Some irrigation know-how
Secure and confident with hand and power tools, and fine working outdoors through a Sydney summer
Reliable, and positive at following a planting plan
A Cert III in Horticulture or similar is preferred. Currently studying counts too.

The details
Casual, 1–2 days a week to start, adaptable around study
$40–44/hr + super, depending on experience
Premium Residential and Commercial gardens across eastern suburbs, inner west, north shore
Driver's licence / own transport to sites preferred

If you get a little too excited about the layer between the trees and the ground, we’d like to hear from you. Apply through the job listing below, and tell us about one plant you can’t stop recommending.
