Head gardener Dan Hale is celebrating the past by planting for the future
Hale credits the passion people showed for their gardens as the reason he pursued the career. “It was infectious. Growing up I had done a little bit of pottering in the garden but a career in horticulture was never pushed as a potential career in school. It wasn’t until I’d seen how much people cared about their own gardens that I started to think about it. All the different styles, from manicured lawns to big floral displays to wild woodlands – it opened up a whole world.
After gaining qualifications from Askham Bryan College near York, Hale worked in the landscaping sector for a few years before seeing an opening for a gardener at Wentworth Castle, near Barnsley. By his mid-20s he had risen to acting head gardener and the move to Brodsworth Hall opened up even more opportunities.
“It’s been fantastic,” says Hale, now 36. “I’ve had the opportunity to restore one of the best Victorian gardens in the country.”
