~ Meet the GARDEN CENTER DIVISION and YOUR FUTURE TEAM!
Get ready to dig deeper, reach higher, and grow together with For Garden’s Sake —where every plant needs a home and every home needs a plant! The spring season starts March 1 and generally winds down early June, dependent on weather. These are part-time seasonal positions, but many of our seasonal associates have gone on to become part of our permanent team.
The Garden Center is open seven days a week, with 8:45am – 5:00pm shifts. Minimum three days a week required. Staff must be willing to work outside in all weather conditions and be cross-trained to provide backup support to other positions as needed (cashiering, customer assistance, Potting Shed serving). Staff may also help customers carry and load purchases into vehicles.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
***Weekend muscle needed to unload trucks and move merchandise Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays!***
Plant Care Associates are the movement and muscle of the Garden Center. Plants thrive under the attention and care of PCAs’ watering, weeding, and cleaning up. You’ll also help unload our weekly bounty of plants from delivery trucks with organization and efficiency. Be ready to flex those muscles, as you’ll need to be able to lift up to 50lbs! This role is go-go-go, so energetic people will do best! Your hard work and dedication is the soil that nourishes this green space, and in turn, our customers’ lives.
