Garden Center Team Member

Shady Hill Greenhouses is hiring for the Garden Center Team Member position in Londonderry, NH. 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. • Care for annuals, vegetables, perennials, nursery stock, houseplants, mums, and other living inventory through the watering, grooming, spacing, moving, pruning, cleanup, and seasonal protection tasks assigned. • Help customers in the garden center and yard, answer the phone or work the register when trained, locate products, and seek a knowledgeable coworker rather than guess when a plant-care or product question is outside your experience. • Receive, count, label, organize, and display inventory carefully, keeping customer paths, benches, carts, sales areas, and plant groupings attractive, accurate, watered, and safe throughout the day. 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 Shady Hill Greenhouses, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Care for annuals, vegetables, perennials, nursery stock, houseplants, mums, and other living inventory through the watering, grooming, spacing, moving, pruning, cleanup, and seasonal protection tasks assigned.

Receive, count, label, organize, and display inventory carefully, keeping customer paths, benches, carts, sales areas, and plant groupings attractive, accurate, watered, and safe throughout the day. What the employer is looking for • Reliable attendance, a strong work ethic, friendly customer service, useful communication, and attention to detail in a setting where living inventory and customer needs both require timely follow-through. • Ability to work in the elements and maintain flexible availability that includes weekends and holidays, together with the physical capacity for the standing, walking, lifting, watering, and plant-handling work assigned. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods.
