Jobs - Flora Grubb Gardens

Sales Person

We love to help our customers make their gardens more beautiful, whether that involves helping to select one plant for a trouble location or an entire brand-new potted garden for a deck. Our customers come to us for our plant knowledge and our design eye. We aspire to offer top notch design services to all of our customers.

Being a sales person at Flora Grubb Gardens requires a lot of skill. You'll need to know a lot about plants, know how to find information about plants you are not familiar with, and have a strong interest in acquiring more plant knowledge. You'll need to have some experience making gardens and have a great eye for design.

You'll work on our sales floor of our retail store. This is not a desk job. You'll need to be prepared to be on your feet all day. You'll need to be reasonably fit and able to routinely lift and carry 25 lbs.

You must enjoy working with people as much as you enjoy working with plants. You'll need to work well with our customers, inspire confidence in them, and foster long term relationships with them and their gardens.

Being a part of the sales team here is a fantastic experience. Our team is fun, incredibly creative, knowledgeable, mature, and easy to get along with. If you've felt isolated working as an independent garden designer, you might really enjoy working in the nursery environment.

We'd love to hear from applicants with experience in retail nurseries, and we are also thrilled to consider applicants with landscape design experience. We know that working in the field rather than in a nursery means your Latin is likely to be a little weak. Don't sweat it. If you know and love plants, you'll get the Latin in no time on the job. We are not looking for applicants with neither landscape nor nursery experience at this time.

If you are passionate about garden design, please do get in touch! We offer benefits including health insurance. You'll need to be ready to work all weekend every weekend. We'd consider a part to full time position.
