About the job

Landscape Gardener (80% - 100%)

The nursery at the Goetheanum maintains and designs the approximately 11 ha large garden park around the Goetheanum.

While large parts are designed in a natural style, artistically designed rose and flower beds are located around the buildings. Themed gardens form the transition to vegetable and cut flower areas.
