Work tasks include weeding perennial gardens, pruning, clean up of grounds, planting, designing container gardens, and building/installing gardenscapes. We are looking for someone who ideally knows some basics about gardening. Training will be provided on the job,
This is a physical job where we bend, stoop, shovel, rake, and lift. Sometimes electric powered equipment will be used (hedge bar, leaf blower), but the work does not include mowing.

Successful candidates will begin work right away. Work is full time Monday - Thursday, but we can be flexible about schedule.
