Now Hiring Seasonal Gardeners!

Requirements:

• A basic knowledge of plants and plant identification as well as some general gardening techniques are essential.

• A great attitude and flexibility for the tasks that get thrown your way. Your work ethic is just as important as your knowledge. This is essentially a manual labor position and sometimes we are shoveling compost into wheel barrels or painstakingly removing landscape cloth. It’s not always that fun but it is made tolerable by your mindset.

• Attention to detail and recognizing when you may need help or advice with a task.

• A love of working outside. We sometimes work through light rain, high heat and as of late, mild smoke. Heavy rain or snow and extreme smoke days are days off.

• The ability to follow directions and complete tasks in an efficient and effective manner.

• An ability to lift 50 lbs as well as having reliable transportation. We often meet on-sight instead of at our headquarters so being there on time is essential.

Responsibilities:

• The majority of this job is garden maintenance. Deadheading, staking, edging, cultivating and general ‘primping’ of garden beds and seasonal containers.

• Planting annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees when needed.

• Using hand tools as well as our battery operated blowers and hedge trimmers.

• Filling out worksheets and being able to accomplish all tasks in a timely manner.

Positions start mid-late April and run through October. We are looking for full time employees but will consider part time if you are the right fit. We work Monday - Friday with scattered start and end times. (approximately 8:30-5:00, 30-40 hours/week). We don’t service lawns but do roll with the punches! Wages start at $21/hour. If you seem like a good fit please email your cover letter and resume to Amber at hello@junipergardens.net. We can’t wait to hear from you!
