How Ben got into landscaping
I started as an administrator and then onto a management training programme, where I experienced the practical side of landscaping, which I loved. I’m now Assistant Grounds Maintenance Manager looking after London’s most prestigious parks.
Why I love landscaping
Physical, outdoor work suits me more than sitting in office. I find horticulture extremely interesting and I enjoy the variety of work I get involved with.
My advice to tomorrow’s landscaper
If you get the opportunity, try out lots of different landscaping roles. The profession’s extremely varied and by having a go at as much as you can you’ll gain experience and hopefully find your niche.
