Schedule: Full-time | Seasonal & Year-Round Opportunities Available

Our retail garden center is seeking a Store Associate focused on hard goods and garden supplies . This role supports the backbone of our operation—products that require strength, organization, accuracy, and customer guidance (no plant care involved).

What You’ll Do

  • Assist customers with garden and outdoor hard goods , including grass seed, fertilizers, soils, weed control products, animal repellents, pest and disease control, pottery, statuary, grills, and tools
  • Load soils, pottery, and large items into customer vehicles safely and efficiently
  • Stock, organize, and merchandise heavy and bulky products
  • Maintain inventory accuracy and assist with product receiving
  • Keep aisles, yards, and storage areas clean, safe, and organized

What We’re Looking For

  • Comfortable working outdoors and in warehouse-style environments
  • Able to follow safety guidelines and product-handling instructions
  • Customer-focused with clear communication skills
  • Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

  • Experience in retail, hardware, or farm & garden
  • Familiarity with fertilizers, pesticides, soils, or lawn care products
  • Familiarity with pest and disease control products
  • Forklift experience (or willingness to learn)

Why Work With Us

  • Active, hands-on work—no desk, no downtime
  • Supportive team environment
  • Employee discounts on garden and outdoor products

If you enjoy physical work, practical problem-solving, and helping customers find the right product (not the right petunia) , this role might be a perfect fit.
