Getting plants established
Scouting for pests
Being proactive in defenses against pests
Daily plant care

Not All Jobs Are Flashy…
Labeling is very important
This is a critical form of documentation

Customer Connection: Marketing
Unfortunately, most customers do not get to see the actual plants, it is the plant products that get the most “eye’s”
So, ensuring your products are well presented is important.
This is critical to keep the business going and this is something that needs continual attention.
This makes for a great “indoor” job

It may seem repetitive, but there is a lot of preparations, checking and double checking on equipment.
While the planting process is routine, the volume and high standards makes this an all hands on deck job.
