Job description

Bloom Hill Farm is hiring a part-time greenhouse manager in Uniontown, Ohio for the 2027 flower season. The role generally runs four hours per day from Monday through Friday, with some Saturday hours during busy seasons, on-farm events, or markets. The manager owns greenhouse production from seed to retail shelf, including propagation, crop care, inventory, and plant presentation.

Bloom Hill Farm is a flower farm and floral design studio serving Northeast Ohio. The greenhouse manager plans seedlings, cuttings, and plug production, then tracks crop quality, timing, records, and retail readiness. The role directs nursery and greenhouse staff, sets daily priorities, and gives feedback. Work takes place in greenhouses and outdoors throughout the year, including heat, humidity, and cold.

Role: Greenhouse Manager

Employer: Bloom Hill Farm

Location: Uniontown, Ohio

Employment type: Part-time

Candidates for the part-time opening prepare their greenhouse production background, crop-management experience, and examples of staff leadership. The role also calls for a clear commitment to the 2027 flower season schedule and the physical demands of plant production.

Propagation And Crop Timing

The greenhouse manager plans propagation schedules for seedlings, cuttings, and plugs. Incoming plant material is received, inspected, and documented before it enters production. Watering, fertigation, pruning, pest scouting, disease response, and crop-quality checks continue through the growing cycle.

The position connects crop timing with the spring retail season. Annual plant programs require decisions about varieties, production volume, and timing, while records cover inventory, reorder information, and germination rates. Greenhouse managers also track growing conditions and yields, coordinate operations, and supervise agricultural workers, skills summarized in the NC State manager profile.

Daily production requires clean propagation areas, organized storage, printed crop tags, and timely responses to plant-health concerns. The manager flags problems to the owners, recommends workflow changes, and keeps the production calendar aligned with retail demand.

Retail Nursery Standards

Bloom Hill Farm prepares plants for a retail nursery as well as for field and hoop-house production. The manager keeps the nursery stocked, signed, and visually maintained, refills backstock each day, and removes plants that fall below the farm's quality standards. Plant tags and retail signs need accurate information before products reach the sales floor.

• Receiving and documenting plant material
• Ordering and maintaining growing supplies
• Printing crop tags, plant tags, and retail signs
• Tracking inventory, reorder information, and germination rates
• Preparing retail-ready plants for customer selection
• Supporting annual plant programs and spring retail displays

Customer interaction is part of the retail work. Plant-product knowledge helps the manager answer selection questions, while merchandising experience supports a clear sales area. The greenhouse manager also supports flower harvest, planting, weeding, equipment operation, market work, and festival work when the wider farm schedule requires it.

Staff Direction And Daily Priorities

The greenhouse manager directly supervises nursery and greenhouse staff. Each day includes a work plan, real-time direction, quality expectations, and feedback conversations. New team members receive training on greenhouse operations, harvest technique, and product quality.

Communication keeps propagation, retail preparation, and outdoor crop work coordinated. The role requires self-direction, multiple-task management, computer literacy, email use, spreadsheet work, label printing, and sign printing. Farms software and a project-management system carry the nursery records and work information.

Greenhouse Conditions And Worker Protection

The work includes standing for extended periods, repetitive manual tasks, and lifting up to 50 pounds. Outdoor and enclosed-space work can involve heat, humidity, cold, soil, water, tools, and plant-protection products. A greenhouse manager keeps the work area organized while coordinating crop care and staff activity.

Greenhouse pesticide use falls within the agricultural-plant production covered by the EPA Worker Protection Standard. The position's pest and disease duties therefore require attention to farm protocols, product labels, entry restrictions, and protective practices. The role's environmental work also includes irrigation management, fertigation, crop observation, and plant identification.

Workplace communication covers quality concerns, schedule changes, supply needs, and process recommendations. The position is intended for someone with hands‑on greenhouse production experience who can lead a small team while maintaining the crop calendar.

Bloom Hill Farm also operates a retail nursery, flower stand, seasonal bouquet club, wholesale flower program, and floral design work for weddings and events. The greenhouse manager's crop decisions connect propagation work with those different sales channels across Northeast Ohio.

The farm's products include fresh local blooms, annual and perennial plants, herbs, dahlia tubers, and wholesale flowers. The work connects with flower professionals who grow, design, and supply flowers.
