Gardener or Installer

We’re a nature forward design-build landscaping company seeking an experienced gardener with a deep understanding of plants—especially native species of the Northeast. The ideal candidate is someone experienced in and passionate for both garden maintenance and installation work, but would curate this position based on your strengths and interests. I have over a decade of experience in all aspects of urban landscaping and enjoy teaching to help you expand the areas you are most interested in or would like to develop.

My style is to plant a diversity of vegetation (mostly native) and to incorporate many textures and blooms changing interests all year. Haven’t planted a boxwood in 5 years!
