Greenhouse Grower & Landscape Technician

Greenhouse Grower & Landscape Technician

Position Overview

We are looking for a dependable, hands-on Greenhouse Grower & Landscape Technician to join our team. This is a position with responsibilities that change throughout the growing season. From mid-February through June, the work is heavily focused on greenhouse production, plant care, propagation, transplanting, watering, fertilizing, pest monitoring, and preparing plants for sale or installation. As weather allows in March or April, the role adds some off-site landscape maintenance work, including spring cleanups and mulch/rock installation, all while continuing the greenhouse production. Summer months transition into mainly off-site work planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, and complete landscape remodels. This role requires someone who can work at a fast pace, keep up with experienced coworkers, and earn your co-workers' respect through being dependable, hard-working, and carrying forth a positive attitude.
