Facilities And Maintenance Coordinator

Facilities and Maintenance Coordinator

We are seeking a full-time Maintenance/Facilities Coordinator for our Garner area plant nursery.

We are Plant Delights Nursery/Juniper Level Botanic Garden, a perennial plant nursery established in Raleigh in 1986, offering unique, rare, well grown, and properly named perennials to passionate gardeners around the world.

We are a family-owned company with a mission to support research, education, and the exploration of plants through the sales of unique perennial plants.

Our nursery and garden provide an opportunity to work indoors and outdoors year-round, so we have a casual dress code, a diverse staff, and a friendly working environment.
