Horticulturist / Gardener – Casual, 2–3 days, Eastern Suburbs & North Shore We're a small, planting-led landscape studio with more gardens than plant people. We'd like one more.

SurrealScapes (and our sister brand Succulent Designs Sydney) designs, plants and looks after gardens across Sydney, mostly in the Eastern Suburbs and North Shore, from our base in Alexandria. The work is maintenance rounds and planting installs, with a focus on endemic species, healthy soil and keeping old materials on site. You'd work alongside our two directors, both horticulturists, and report to Alexa on site.

We are also looking to hire a designer, so if you have any experience with design thats a bonus
