Season runs early April through October/November.

Requirements:
Must be athletic and strong (think digging, raking, weeding and pushing heavy wheelbarrows up hill in all weather, and able to lift 50 pounds comfortably).
Must be professional, self motivated, and enthusiastic about work with plants. This job works for folks who enjoy and can handle heavy labor in a small, supportive, focused team environment.

This is NOT a mow and blow crew.

Our goal is to make beautiful gardens that are healthy habitat for the native plants, insects, and animals that need to use them to thrive.
