Horticulture Technician

First Dakota Horticulture is hiring a Horticulture Technician for seasonal, full-time work around Sioux Falls.

What you will do • Handle planting, bed maintenance, seasonal cleanup, and plant care. • Prune plants and help renovate or install planted areas. • Keep useful job records and assess ongoing maintenance needs. • Communicate with customers about their requests and expectations. How the work fits together The company's horticultural services follow gardens through the changing seasons. Spring and fall preparation includes clearing beds, tending shrubs, and managing annual and perennial plantings. Regular visits focus on weed control, plant health, deadheading, and small pruning tasks. The business also offers mulch renewal, tree care, and services aimed at protecting plants through winter. Its wider design and installation work helps customers plan changes to existing outdoor spaces, while ongoing maintenance supports those gardens after the initial project. Crews work with a range of landscape materials and coordinate with customers as projects develop. For someone who enjoys both practical gardening and personal service, this setting brings plant knowledge into everyday decisions about how a property looks and how its planting develops. What the employer is looking for • Hold a valid South Dakota driver's license. • Be able to obtain the appropriate state pesticide-applicator license. • Bring communication and leadership skills and the ability to lift heavy nursery pots. • Landscape experience is preferred, but the employer will train a suitable candidate.
