We are looking for freelance gardeners with horticultural knowledge to join us for the end of the 2024 season. This time frame will run from mid-October to mid-December.
A good fit for the role is someone who is punctual, follows directions, familiar with working hard with a group, and likes being outside. As temperatures will dip in mid-November to the end of the season, expect to work outside in winter gear for extended periods.
Prior experience working with plants is required. Must be able to carry up to 50lbs. Current driver's license and experience driving a cargo van a huge plus. Those with experience installing bulbs or building out evergreen bough displays are encouraged to apply.
We are hiring for immediate work on a freelance basis. Work can range from 20hrs - 40hrs a week depending on our need and your experience. Our day usually starts at 8 or 9am and ends at 4 or 5pm depending on daylight. We are looking for people that can work whole day shifts Monday through Friday.
Starting pay is $23hr. Candidates with solid horticulture background in ornamental gardening will be considered for a higher hourly after demonstrating their knowledge on site.
Please send your resume and cover letter with three references who can vouch for your gardening skills. Also let us know what days you are available for work. Please specify if you can drive and have a valid license in your message. Drivers will be given first priority.
