Garden Crew Lead

Job Summary

GROW is a local, young and thriving business with many opportunities to advance with us. We offer a 4 day work week to help you have a more balanced personal/work schedule, side by side to support you with your life needs & aspirations. The company was born in May 2014 with a dream to nurture happy, healthy gardens that are thoughtful, peaceful, and more inviting. We also believe that the same goals and care should be the basis of our employer/employee relationships. Work hard and play hard (or gently if that's your jam)! We have worked hard to cultivate a work environment that is not only professional but supports a family like team culture. Ask any one of our employees, all who have been with us for multiple years, and they will confirm.

The GROW team is looking for responsible, reliable, hard-working individuals to join us for the 2022 season and beyond. You will lead various gardening related tasks working with perennials, vegetables, annuals, trees and xeric plants. You will manage a crew in a rewarding and supportive work environment. If you are looking for something fun, physically rewarding and engaging, that is outside, this is the job for you! We would love the opportunity to talk with you.

This is a seasonal position, March-December with creative off season options. Weekly schedule is Monday-Thursday 7:30am - 5:30pm and Fridays off.
