Gardening Helpers

Columbia SC

Description

Drive around Columbia and you see it everywhere - a jungle of vines smothering shrubs and small trees and growing into the tops of tall trees, invasive tree saplings growing up in all the beds, irises and lilies and roses smothered by brambles and other weeds, large overgrown shrubs hiding houses - in other words, a total mess. Imagine a homeowner, perhaps an elderly widow distressed that she can no longer keep up with it all, sad that she has lost her once beautiful garden, or a young couple who has bought such a house and has no idea what to do. Imagine the relief and joy, having all the vines cleared, beds cleared of weeds, overgrown shrubs properly pruned, of a butterfly garden being planted in a once buried bed. If this appeals to you, if you like being outside, if you like hard work alongside others, and if you can handle the hot summers, even if you don't know much about gardening but want to learn, maybe you should consider being part of our team. You'll start at $18 an hour and if you learn quickly that rate will go up. If this appeals to you, check out our web site at gardeningandsuch.com, and end along an application with a cover letter and a work history or resume. Candidates must have dependable transportation, as in their own vehicles and up to date driver's licenses. We work mostly Monday to Friday. Part time students are welcome to apply.
