The cool weather has ended in South FL and many of our favorite veggie crops are finishing their season. We now begin our “warm season” when only tropical, heat and humidity tolerant crops thrive.

Ready-to-Grow Gardens is hiring!

Are you or is someone you know looking for a job helping others grow their own food? Joining the RTG team might be a good fit! There is a growing demand for people needing help with their edible garden and we need to build our team over the coming months.

We are looking for help with the following:

– Edible garden installation & care

– Fruit tree planting & care

– Nursery management (plant propagation, organization, weeding, signage)

– Carpentry (building garden beds)

– Loading and transporting heavy materials

– Sales of plants and garden supplies at the nursery

– Marketing

– Garden education (helping teach others to grow their own food)

Gardening can be a lot of fun, but keep in mind that working outdoors is usually hot and sometimes rainy. We are looking for teammates with a strong focused work ethic. Prior experience with growing edible plants is preferred but not necessary.

If interested, please email dylan@ready-to-grow.com with a cover letter, resume and preferred pay rate. We are open to occasional, part-time and full-time help. Also, if you know someone that might be interested in this, please share!

For anyone looking for a gift, Ready-to-Grow is now offering eGift cards which can be purchased from our gift card page.
