Horticulture Assistant - Howard Nurseries
Howard Nurseries is one of the country's largest wholesale perennial specialists.
Established fifty years ago from humble origins, our business, like our plants, has grown steadily in the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
The nursery was founded as a partnership in 1969. The partners had a dream, many years of practical experience, a few stock plants, and half an acre of poor, rented land.
Having steadily grown, the nursery now covers over 100 acres, making it one of the foremost perennial producers in Great Britain.
Over the years, we have strived to develop valued and long-term relationships with our customers and suppliers.
We are looking for help in our container plant area. Responsibilities include:
* Collecting orders to send to dispatch.
* Potting and standing plants down outside in the container area.
* Hand watering plants.
* Husbandry of plants, including pruning and weeding.
* Training for jobs will be provided.
Person Requirements
* This role would suit someone who enjoys being outside and working on their own or in a small group.
* A flexible approach with the option of working in other departments if there is an increased workload in those areas.
* Physically fit, as the role involves mainly standing and walking most of the day.
We are looking for 2-3 days minimum per week, which could increase to 5 days per week over the summer. Business working hours are 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Thursday, and 8 am to 3:30 pm on Friday.
Own transport would be an advantage or living close by.
The closing date for this job offer is on 18/04/2025.
