Other Job Information: This is a small company. You will be working

the business. This is an open book company and we believe in sharing
success with everyone on the team.
Garden maintenance includes mulching, pruning, weeding and fall
cleanups. Our new garden installations could include lawn removal, bed
preparation, planting, and sodding. We care for ornamental gardens. We
are NOT urban farmers. We are NOT a lawn care company.
Hours are variable and sometimes unpredictable, as we can’t work in
really nasty weather, and we don’t always know what state a garden is
in before we arrive. We work weekdays usually starting at 7:00.
Weekend and statutory holiday hours are rare and completely voluntary.
Every day you will make someone’s yard better than it was when you
arrived.
We work across Toronto from Mississauga to Scarborough, south of the
401. We have a policy of enabling our employees to travel by public
transit; you do not need your own vehicle. You do need safety boots.
