Retail Nursery and Organic Soil Amendment Packer Combo

Elmore near 22nd Ave W, Seattle WA

Description

If you love plants, are good with people, like to stay busy, and can readily lift 50 pounds on a regular basis, then this is the perfect job for you. Walt’s Organic Fertilizer Co, since 1995, is providing highest quality organic gardening products and services. We are currently looking for the right candidates to join our crew. The role we are looking to fill right now is for a crew member to help us at our little garden shop near Fishermen’s Terminal in Seattle, WA. Duties are varied and include plant care, light manufacturing, shipping, and receiving, and retail nursery service. We sell indoor and outdoor plants that need regular caring after. Our emphasis is on native, edible, and pollinator-friendly selections. You will learn about the wide array of natural and organic soil amendments we sell (dry ingredients like glacial rock dust, basalt dust, fish bone, colloidal soft rock phosphate, and may more) as you work with us to help provide our customers the right products for their unique soils and personal needs. You will receive shipments and break down 50-pound bags of these assorted ingredients and help us re-pack them into sizes that make sense for smaller garden spaces. And you would also help processing internet orders for these products which we ship all over the country. Duties include helping customers at the shop, as well, where we have a seasonal rotation of related products for sale. There are so many cool things to learn and talk about. For example, you will learn about beneficial insects we carry like lady bugs, green lace wings, and praying mantis. You will learn about mycorrhizal fungi we have for sale. You will gain knowledge about bio char. You will learn about soil. It is really a unique small shop where you will be working directly with the owner-operators. Walt and Shirley Jane are hands-on and active providing you with the tools you need to succeed. We are quite flexible with scheduling needs. We offer an optional medical/dental/vision plan for full time crew. And make a mean pancake breakfast from time to time. If this sounds interesting, and you have some relevant experiences, please don’t hesitate to apply. And if you know anyone interested in organic gardening and landscaping, we are looking for help with that end of the business as well.
