Drama, bad attitude or excuses why you can't come in to work are all deal breakers for us.
Experience in landscape work is a plus but for the right person it is not a requirement. An interest in the work we do is also a plus. 401K with employer matching available, health insurance available, plus other benefits as well for established employees. Contact Dan@plantsmen.com
The Plantsmen Nursery has an opening on our landscape maintenance crew. This crew focuses on custom care for our clients' gardens. We do not mow lawns--if that is what you are looking for, this is not the right job.
We do hand work--weeding, pruning, edging beds, raking, moving mulch in wheelbarrows...all custom work and some of it is heavy work. The same crew also does planting projects and helps out occasionally on other types of landscape jobs, but the main focus is quality maintenance.
*Must be reasonably strong and in good physical condition to keep up with the work.
*Must have a team attitude and be a positive person willing to take direction.
*Must provide a couple of work references that we will check.
CUSTOM GROWING
For projects that need more plants than you’d normally find ‘on the shelf’ in our retail nursery, we encourage organizations, contractors and homeowners to let us custom grow plants to suit your needs. Whether it’s an ecological restoration project, or for a residential or commercial landscape, we can grow quantities, sizes and species that we may not have in stock at any given time. Minimums may apply.
Please contact Dan Segal for more information on custom orders: dan@plantsmen.com
We grow perennials, grasses and sedges, ferns, ground covers, shrubs, trees, vines, organic veggie starts, annuals and more. We maintain stock of a wide range of plants for almost every habitat in our region, and we’re always trying to increase our plant palette for our three most common landscape and garden requests: shade, wet sites, and deer-resistance.
We are proud to grow more native species than any other retail nursery in NY State.
• Most of our plants are native to New York and the Eastern US
• Most of our plants are seed-grown for genetic diversity
• Most of our seed is locally collected for local adaptation
• All our plants are nursery propagated, never wild-dug
• We are a spray-free environment. This means no pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides or other chemical applications commonly
used in plant production
