About the role
You'll keep our plants healthy, get orders out the door and help customers in the shop. Some days you'll be helping a first-time plant owner pick something easy, and other days you'll be prepping a big order for a wedding. It's hands-on work, and no two days look the same.
You don't need to be a plant expert, but you should know your way around common houseplants and genuinely enjoy caring for them. We'll teach you the rest.
What you'll do
Care for plants in the shop: watering, cleaning leaves, pruning and checking for pests
Pick, pack and stage online orders for GTA delivery and shipping
Get pickup orders ready and hand them off to customers
Help customers in the shop and ring up sales on our POS
Prep bulk plant orders for weddings, showers and corporate events
Help with local deliveries
Receive plant shipments and help with inventory counts
Help with product photos and social media content
Pitch in on anything else the Store Manager needs
What we're looking for
A real love of plants and a good working knowledge of houseplant care
Friendly and patient with customers, whether they're plant pros or total beginners
Detail-oriented. Orders need to go out right, and plants need to look their best
Comfortable juggling a few things at once on busy days
Enjoys working as part of a team and is open to feedback
Able to lift up to 50 lbs (big plants, soil bags, cases)
Nice to have
Retail or customer service experience
Your own transportation for supply pickups and other errands
Schedule
Weekend availability is required
You'll need to be available during our busiest times, including sales like Black Friday, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, wedding season and our Wednesday specials
Perks
Staff pricing on plants at cost + 15%, starting after 90 days
First pick of new plants when shipments arrive
We celebrate your birthday and work anniversary
