Is a part- or full-time seasonal job something you would be interested in? NightCrawler Gardens is a great place to work, learn about plants and enjoy the company of a great crew. We grow a tremendous diversity of organic and conventional herbs, vegetables, and native plants for sale throughout central Ohio. We are ramping up production for the spring season and need general labor.
Because this is a seasonal job it is a great opportunity for retirees, college students, and parents that want work while their children are at school. We are somewhat flexible but prefer folks to work at least 18 hours a week, occasionally weekends.
Responsibilities may include:
- Transplanting seedlings to their flats or baskets
- Moving plants as needed for consolidation, loading racks or the truck
- Watering
- Building flats, Mixing soil, filling flats
- Sowing seeds
- Cleaning up
- Things that come up in the day-to-day operations of a small business
Requirements:
- We need folks who are honest, hardworking, punctual, and friendly.
- Willingness to learn our methods and protocols.
- Most work is with others, but some solo work will require self-motivation.
- Attention to detail is important, nobody wants to buy a cherry tomato plant that ends up being a beefsteak because it was mislabeled.
- This is a physical job and requires a lot of bending to pick up and set down product on the floor.
- We try to avoid it but there are times in the spring when it rains in Ohio. We work through the rain, sun, wind, and snow. Most work is inside greenhouses, but things need to be moved from one place to another and be loaded to ship. Many days are a delight to work through.
- There will be dirt. It will get on you.
