Job description
We are looking for people to help out in our nursery, growing plants and picking & packing orders for dispatch. Over the last couple of years we have seen significant growth in our business. We grow a wide range of soft fruits, trees and shrubs, supplying online and mail order customers, sending out about 3000 parcels a week.

We give all the training needed to complete the daily jobs, which can range from plant picking, order prepping, box packing, potting, watering, plant moving and much more.

This gives any new empolyees a great initial experience working for us and in the horticultural industry, opening doors within the business.
If you are interested in the job please send us your CV, and if you are an interesting candidate we will ask you in to an open day visit to see how we work and if you are a good fit.
