In addition, the RBG intends to cultivate a range of plants suitable for sale in the Garden’s shop.

The botanic garden is due to open to the public in the near future.

• excellent skills in crop husbandry, pest and disease vigilance

• flexibility to adapt to working in a ‘less-developed country’ where horticultural supplies are not always on hand

• meticulous record keeper

• experience in the commercial sector would be desirable

• a relevant qualification

Knowledge of the Arabic language (or a willingness to learn) would be advantageous, along with a proven interest in the region’s flora.
