🌱 Team Leader – Greenhouse Operations


Brookdale Treeland Nurseries Limited (BTN) is one of Canada’s largest and most respected growers and distributors of garden plants, serving customers across Canada and the United States. With a history rooted in horticulture dating back to its formation in 1983, BTN operates multiple farms in Ontario and British Columbia spanning hundreds of acres of cultivated land.


BTN specializes in growing and supplying a wide range of high-quality plant products - including flowering shrubs, evergreens, broadleaf evergreens, perennials, trees, vines, holiday greens, small fruits, and tropical plants - and is known for building full-service customized programs tailored to the needs of garden retailers, landscape contractors, municipalities, golf courses, and retail partners.


Through a broad network of more than 300 growers around the world combined with BTN’s own production, the company stays ahead of market and consumer trends to deliver innovative plant assortments and branded offerings. BTN partners with well-known brands such as Proven Winners®, Knock Out® Roses, Heritage® Perennials, and more, providing both retail and wholesale customers with exceptional products and services.

Lead people. Build things. Grow something real.


We’re looking for a hands-on Team Leader to supervise crews of 5–15 people in our fast-paced perennial greenhouse operation. This role is for someone who likes to be in the action, not behind a desk - leading crews through a wide variety of projects as the seasons change.


What you’ll do



  • Lead and motivate crews across production, potting, plant care, Christmas production, and more

  • Plan daily work, keep projects moving, and jump in when needed

  • Set the tone: safe, productive, positive, and efficient

  • Adapt - no two weeks look the same here, and that’s the fun part


What we’re looking for



  • Proven ability to lead people and direct physical work

  • Comfortable with hands-on, physically demanding work in all seasons

  • Organized, dependable, and confident making decisions

  • Greenhouse or agriculture experience is a plus - but not required


Why this role is different



  • Real responsibility and real leadership (not just a title)

  • Variety - plants, projects, people, and seasons keep things interesting

  • Work you can see, touch, and be proud of at the end of the day


If you’re the kind of leader who earns respect by showing up, working hard, and bringing people together - we’d like to meet you.
