Job Opportunities at Flowers in the Front Yard

Currently we are looking for occasional gardeners and garden workers to work on projects as they come up in your neighborhood. Evenings and weekends along with daytime work is available. Hours worked will be flexible, and occasional. You will be one of a "pool" of workers who will be called on for work in your neighborhood during times when you have indicated that you are available. We need workers across the GTA. Work is seasonal beginning in late March and ending by November. We are still working this season and interviewing for next season now. You will need your own transportation, and some of your own basic gardening tools.

We are looking for 2 types of people:

Basic garden workers:
Applicants must like to work outside, don't mind getting dirty, be physically strong and able to lift heavy plants and bags of soil etc, and be able to work bending down, or on your hands and knees. Tasks will include shoveling soil and mulch, planting, loading and unloading supplies, removing old shrubs, digging out roots, moving stones, etc. If you take pleasure in a job well done, and enjoy making an ugly space beautiful, please apply. This is a minimum wage position. Ideal for high-school or university students.

Knowledgeable Gardeners:
Ideal applicants will be hobby gardeners with experience in maintaining a garden in this climate. Formal training will be appreciated but is not necessary. You must be physically able to do the job but if you are very knowledgeable your physical abilities will be secondary as you will be supervising the garden workers. Your primary tasks will include weeding, planting, identifying plants and weeds for other workers, pruning, etc. This position is ideal for the newly retired or anyone who does not want to work full time. Pay is negotiable but not extravagant.
