About Borde Hill

Borde Hill (BH) is a magnificent Grade IIEnglish Heritage listed Garden set within 383 acres of Parkland and Woodland.
Created in the early 1900's with plants gathered by the great plant hunters from their travels to the Himalayas, China, Burma, Tasmania, the Andes and North America, the Estate contains over 70 champion trees and 8,000 trees and shrubs listed by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. In addition to the living collection, Borde Hill also has an extensive plant archive which allows us to better understand the plant collection and social history to engage our visitors about 'the world in one garden'.

The Stephenson Clarke family have been custodians of Borde Hill for five generations, and are at a stage of generational change that is seeing new energy, opportunities and ideas aimed at broadening our visitor demographic and ensuring Borde Hill is sustainable for future generations. This includes new business initiatives of field to fork dining and the restoration of our walled kitchen garden, a biodynamic market garden and a rejuvenated family parkland offering with improved infrastructure, better horticultural interpretation and plant management, with a focus on climate change.

This is an exciting time to join our team as new projects and initiatives are being launched, and this role will support our ambitious growth targets.
