Requirements…
- Experience. We train all of our staff to our standards however experience is required. Whether you have worked for a landscaping company for a season, a lawn care company or at a local garden center, the experience you bring to the table is welcome. There is always so much to learn in gardening and we pride ourselves on our ever growing bank of knowledge and expertise.
- Physically fit. Gardening is tough work. It requires a lot of bending, kneeling, lifting, walking and overall stamina. It involves weeding, pruning, digging, raking, pushing wheelbarrows full of dirt and mulch and much more. It’s hot, it’s sweaty and you can guarantee there are bugs. This is hard work! By the end of the summer you’ll be fitter than fit with a brain full of new gardening information that you can flex with your friends and family. ** NOTE: if you have previous injuries such as a back injury or knee injuries, this job is likely not for you.
- A vehicle. You must have your own working vehicle. This does not include bicycles or scooters.
- A great attitude! Attitude is key when working on a team. Some times the days are hot, sweaty, dirty and long. We are up against bugs, sunburns, and sometimes ridiculously cute dogs. A good sense of humor and positive attitude are a plus as well as being able to pivot due to the weather or sudden schedule changes.
- Team Work! Candidates must have good communication skills and the ability to have fun and work well on a team. We work best when we help one another! You may also be asked to work independently from time to time.
- Our season starts around the end of April and ends when the snow flies which is typically the end of October. As this is a summer job employees are expected to work some weekends and some overtime. We try to be flexible with schedules but do keep in mind that if you intend on going away for a month this summer, this job is not for you.
- Love of nature, bugs, flowers, trees and all things outside.
