Garden Center Team Member

Jackson's Orchard & Nursery is hiring for the Garden Center Team Member position in Bowling Green, KY. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Water, move, space, label, prune, weed, and organize nursery plants according to their needs and supervisor direction. • Assist with receiving, potting, propagation, order preparation, loading, or customer support as assigned. • Identify visible plant stress, pest pressure, irrigation trouble, damaged stock, or label errors and report them promptly. • Water garden-center plants thoroughly and on schedule, checking containers and displays for dryness, stress, damage, pests, or misplaced labels. • Pot, fertilize, groom, and move plants as assigned and maintain flower beds and display pots around the family orchard's customer areas. • Keep plant benches, hoses, tools, paths, pots, and customer-facing areas orderly and assist with safe plant movement or basic guest questions within training. How the work fits together Nursery priorities begin with living inventory: irrigation and plant-health checks cannot wait simply because another task is more convenient. Work then moves through production care, accurate organization, order or sales preparation, and cleanup. Careful labels and handling protect months of plant growth and ensure customers receive the correct material. At Jackson's Orchard & Nursery, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Water garden-center plants thoroughly and on schedule, checking containers and displays for dryness, stress, damage, pests, or misplaced labels.
