• Willing to jump in and help with different tasks as needed

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous cashier or retail experience

No horticulture experience is required. We can teach you about our products and plants—the most important things are your customer service skills, reliability, and willingness to help.

Why This Role

Looking for a way to earn some extra income before the holidays? This could be a great fit.

With approximately 10–20 hours per week and a focus on weekend shifts, this role can work well for someone looking for part-time employment without committing to a full-time schedule.
