I've worked here as the junior for 2 years but I'm now moving onto new things. It's an excellent place to work. Well worth applying.

You will never get anyone with any experience to work for that price surely.

The senior position wage is at the top end of that scale, sadly working in a botanical garden/arboretum is never as well paid as the private sector because the money just isnt available. But with 180 acres 11000 trees and 4500 species if you're into your trees it's an excellent place to work and learn (and it looks great on the old cv) IMO As far as job satisfaction goes you can't beat it. it won't suit everyone but for the right person the positives will outweigh the negatives hands down.*

To be fair it does sound like a great oppertunity seen as you put it like that. I guess the trees are pretty nice also and have always been looked after by people in the know.

Would like to say as a former arborist working in SHHG, that it truly was a great place to work. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
