This role encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, from the basic care of plants to the design and implementation of complex landscaping projects.

A trädgårdsmästare typically possesses extensive knowledge of plants, including their identification, growth requirements, and suitable habitats. They are skilled in various horticultural techniques such as pruning, propagation, soil management, pest and disease control, and irrigation. The profession often requires a strong understanding of botany and ecology.

They may be employed by municipalities to maintain public parks and botanical gardens, by private individuals to care for residential gardens, or by companies specializing in landscaping and garden design. Some trädgårdsmästare also focus on specific areas, such as fruit orchards, vegetable cultivation, or the management of historical gardens.

In Sweden, as in many other countries, the role of a trädgårdsmästare is increasingly recognized for its contribution to environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and the aesthetic appeal of urban and rural landscapes. The profession requires both practical skills and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
