Tips for writing a great job post

A clear job post helps you find someone who suits your garden and your expectations. Here is what to include:

What needs doing

List the specific tasks such as weeding, planting, pruning and clearing so taskers know exactly what the job involves.

Garden size and access

A rough idea of the area and any access notes (steep banks, narrow gates) helps taskers prepare.

Tools and equipment

Let taskers know if you have tools, gloves, a wheelbarrow or compost on site, or whether they need to bring their own.

Plants or materials

If the job involves planting, mention whether you have the plants ready or whether the tasker needs to source them.

Photos

Photos of the current state of the garden help taskers give accurate offers and understand the scope.

Location

Your town or area so local gardeners can find your post easily.

Preferred date and budget

When you would like the work done and a rough budget or hourly rate you are comfortable with.
