Do you like staying active, being outdoors, and being part of our community? Come and join our garden adventures! All plant lovers welcome – we train and offer flexible hours. Contact us today to set up an interview.

Do you like to grow plants, nurture veggie gardens and help flowers bloom? We are looking for an enthusiastic and kind person with a wide spectrum of gardening skills and interests. In this position, you might be weeding gardens one day and watering or blowing leaves the next. Other tasks include planting flowers, layering mulch, and a variety of other small property maintenance tasks. 

 

Other responsibilities include maintaining landscape design integrity by removing weeds or dead plants from the property and caring for mature plants and flowers on the property. Ultimately, as part of our Grounds Crew, this position helps ensure that the lawns and gardens of our clients are properly maintained.
