Working at Gethsemane Garden Center
Gethsemane is open year-round, with many seasonal positions available.
Our busiest season begins in March, with employment opportunities in many of our indoor and outdoor departments. We are always on the lookout for experienced garden, landscape, silk floral design, greenhouse professionals, as well as experienced cashiers, to add to our team in the Spring.
The Garden Center is open seven days a week, and until 8pm in the spring and summer. All of our employees are required to work at least one weekend day, as well as evenings as part of your regular weekly shift. This is required of everyone at Gethsemane from the management team to our newest employees.
We look for 'Can Do' employees, who are customer focused and service-oriented. If you have visited our Garden Center in our busy seasons, than you are familiar with the crowds of customers we serve.
Our employees must be able to provide helpful and pleasant service to multiple customers in a fast-paced enviornment, as well as being responsible for ongoing plant and shrub maintenance, unloading shipments of plant material from trucks, stocking the plant material and keeping our indoor and outdoor spaces clean and clutter free. This can be very physical work and our employees must be able to lift at least fifty lbs and safely climb ladders. We stress this upfront so that anyone interested in joining us understands the very physical demands of the job.
