Seeking landscapers!

- Are you physically strong, a team player, interested in our ecosystem, and are able to work hard outdoors, including in the heat of summer?
- Do you have at least 2 years experience farming or gardening, including at least some knowledge of how to weed and how to plant?

Positions open for crew member or crew leader with Buena Vista Landscaping, a small, woman owned, ecological landscaping crew (think mostly natives, and gardens as habitat) based in Gorham.

Management experience required if seeking the crew leader role.

Pay depends on ability/experience, $22 to $25 starting wage for crew members.

Season runs early April through October/November.

Schedule: Tuesday through Friday (with occasional Mondays), 7:30am start. Average 35 hours per week.

Requirements:
Must be athletic and strong (think digging, raking, weeding and pushing heavy wheelbarrows up hill in all weather, and able to lift 50 pounds comfortably).

Must be professional, self motivated, and enthusiastic about work with plants. This job works for folks who enjoy and can handle heavy labor in a small, supportive, focused team environment.

It's also essential that you're willing and able to learn plant identification and care.

Must have driver's license and a clean driving record, no at fault accidents. Experience driving pickup trucks preferred.

This is NOT a mow and blow crew. This is an earth friendly, small company that takes pride in creative, professional, and above all ecologically beneficial garden design, installation and maintenance work. Our goal is to make beautiful gardens that are healthy habitat for the native plants, insects, and animals that need to use them to thrive.
