Our team members take great pride in offering our customers a unique and enjoyable experience.

If you think you would be a good candidate to join our team this season, here are a few things you should know...

  • All our positions require full work days on your feet (standing and walking) as well as repeated bending and lifting... your Fit Bit may blow up!
  • We work in a range of weather conditions... sunny, rainy, hot and cold days... so a tolerance of working in a variety of environments is a must.
  • Our garden centre is open 7 days per week with Friday, Saturday and Sunday being our busiest days so the ability to work weekends is mandatory.
  • We are located in a rural area with no public transportation so a reliable means of getting to work is essential.
