Join Our Team!

Now hiring for Spring 2025!

If you would love to work in a beautiful, warm environment surrounded by flowers and plants, you're in the right place! We are looking for friendly, hard-working individuals to join our team. Knowledge of plants is an asset, but not mandatory; a desire to learn more is required!

Planting Line Positions are seasonal and typically run from early March to mid April. There is opportunity to transfer over to retail following planting season which would extend the length of employment to mid June.

Retail Positions are seasonal and typically run for 6 weeks, starting on or just before May 1st. We are currently accepting full-time or part-time applications. 
We will have opportunities for a few team members to extend their contract to continue through the summer, though this is not guaranteed.

• Assisting customers in finding varieties they are looking for or directing them to the correct department
