Locally family owned business since 1998 seeks seasonal gardeners. Season starts March 1st as weather allows, gets busier through summer, than tapers back down, typically concluding around Thanksgiving.
Prefer those who are available 30 - 36 hours/week. We don't require weekends and only offer then occasionally to make up hours lost to weather.
Applicants must have valid drivers license, your own vehicle capable of fitting long-handled tools, valid insurance, and a reasonably good driving record. Smart phone or daily computer access required.
We are primarily focused on gardening and maintenance, rather than landscaping so detail and a commitment to increasing plant knowledge is a must. We do not do any heavy landscaping, just the occasional new garden install.
Preferred applicants will have relevant landscaping/gardening project experience. Must be dependable and understand that work is not optional. Capable of working independently or with a team depending on project. Strong communication skills.
If an offer is made, you will start as a Temp at listed starting wage until you have worked a total of 40 billable hours. If job performance was satisfactory, you will be offered a position for the season, with option to continue to following year if in good standing at the end of the season.
After 45 days of good performance, we offer monthly retention BONUSES.
