We are looking for new talent, someone who is willing to join a team approach, work hard, enjoy fresh air and likes to work with people. The right person will be strong, stand tall, and be able to bend, lift, and carry plants and soil with ease.
If you don’t have a sense of humor or enjoy meeting new people on a daily basis, there is no need to apply. We love to hang with really cool gardeners that we call customers, and we are looking for team members with the same values.
We are open seven days a week and are super flexible with your schedule requirements. We work with students, parents and those with complicated lives — we just have to get the work done by the end of the day. You will be home for breakfast and dinner each day, even on the busiest days.
- We believe getting dirty is fun.
- We believe plants are healthy for our environment as much as your soul.

- We believe your garden should be natural, safe and organic.
- We believe in nurturing our customers as much as our plants.
- We believe fresh air is good for you.
- We believe you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
- We believe no one is a failure who has friends.
If you truly believe all of this, you are halfway there, and we encourage you to apply this week!
