Title
Landscape gardener
Organization
Garden Harmony LLC
Description

We are looking to hire a landscape gardener to help with the installation and maintenance of permaculture-inspired landscapes throughout the Triangle area. The work involves the installation of rain gardens, ponds, bioswales, planting beds, walkways, etc. We use very little machinery and do most work by hand, so the work is often labor intensive. Maintenance work is primarily gardening, as we are not a mow-and-blow service. 


Beyond the installation and gardening work, we do plant propagation and have a diverse collection of plants that need care. We offer landscape consultations and landscape design services, so an ideal candidate would have varied interests in all things horticulture. 


Landscape work is seasonal in nature and varies based on what the weather permits. Depending on the candidates schedule and availability, the work can vary from part-time to full-time throughout the year. Because of the diversity of our services, this position will be a great learning opportunity and is ideally suited for those eager to learn.

Qualifications
Horticulture, agriculture, forestry, or construction experience/education is preferred. Outside of consultations and landscape design, most of the work is manual and labor intensive. Must have a strong work ethic and be able to work outside for an extended period of time. We are looking for a candidate who is self-driven, motivated, and curious.
Salary
$15-25 per hour, depending on education and experience
