The Queen Of England Is Hiring

Queen Elizabeth II is looking for a head gardener to maintain the 50,000 acres of lawns and flower beds at her Balmoral Estate, what Queen Victoria called "my dear paradise in the Highlands."

The site, with its "heather clad hills" and "ancient Caledonian woodland," has been a royal retreat since the early 14th century. Prince Albert purchased the Balmoral property in 1852 as a gift to his beloved, Victoria, and since then it has passed to successive generations of royals.
