Grow your future with Boma.

Boma Garden Centre is North London’s horticultural gem – a place where people and plants thrive together. We’re known for our expert advice, exceptional plant quality, and outstanding customer service. Our mission? To make London an urban paradise – one garden at a time.

As our Planting Services Foreman, you’ll play a key role in helping us design and plant beautiful gardens across London. You’ll be working closely with our Planting Services Manager to deliver top-quality planting schemes for domestic gardens – from selecting plants and organising materials to overseeing installations and leading on-site teams.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, ambitious department within the business. We’re looking for someone hands-on, practical, and passionate about plants, who’s ready to make their mark and grow with us.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Work alongside the Planting Services Manager to deliver outstanding planting projects across North London

• Organise plants, materials, and sundries for each project

• Drive to sites and set out planting schemes with precision and care

• Install planting schemes and simple irrigation systems

• Supervise and support planting assistants daily

• Uphold Boma’s high standards for plant quality, layout, and customer satisfaction

• Contribute ideas and improvements to support the growth of the service

What We’re Looking For

• Excellent plant knowledge – you know your perennials from your pansies

• Minimum 3 years’ soft landscaping experience

• At least 1 year in a supervisory or team leadership role

• A full UK driving licence (London van driving experience a bonus)

• Strong organisation, time management and initiative

• Ability to work efficiently alone and as part of a team

• Physically fit and comfortable working outdoors in all weather

• A positive, flexible attitude and a desire to learn and grow

• A keen eye for detail and pride in delivering beautiful, well-finished work

Nice to Have

• Forklift experience is an advantage but not essential, as training will be given.

 

• Garden design experience

• Formal horticultural qualifications

Why Join Boma?

We’re more than just a garden centre. We’re a community of passionate plant people, dedicated to transforming spaces and lifting spirits through greenery. You’ll be joining a supportive, skilled, and down-to-earth team, where your work makes a visible difference and your ideas are welcomed.
