Tallahassee Nurseries

If you’ve got any sort of life struggles, or a standard relaxed face, or ANY sensory issues bordering on neuro-divergence, don’t bother with this place. 
I literally got fired because one morning I had to walk away twice to have a meltdown in the bushes and people gossiped about me to a manager. 
This place is obsessed with “the customer” and if they catch you so much as walking from the bathroom without a smile they accuse you of not wanting to work there. 
The people who run this place have no life away from this nursery and expect the same from employees. 
And there’s almost nothing to do here. I worked register and stood so long I almost fell asleep standing many times. it’s slow and boring. 
And somehow that’s my fault. literally telling management I was bored and asked multiple times a day every single day for tasks. 
Hated this place. 
They don’t have a write up process. If you don’t live up to managers expectations they just fire you. No job security and no advancement. Super temporary 

I loved this job for a long time. The opportunities to learn about horticulture and gardening are fantastic, and most of the employees get along great. However, upper management acts like they’re the NSA the way they intimidate employees and keep secrets. There are such smart and genuine people that work here, but their usefulness is stifled by embarrassingly incompetent, manipulative, and passive aggressive management. Employees that decide to put in their two weeks are regularly told not to come back and finish the typical two week transition period, completely out of spite. This is absolutely childish, and carries the tone of a “you can’t quit because I’m firing you” type of interaction. They also market themselves as a small business concerned about sustainability, but if you could see the amount of waste that goes to landfill here, you’d be horrified. 

Getting a job at Tallahassee Nurseries was like a breath of fresh air in more ways than one. Everyone working is happy, healthy and friendly. All jobs have times of drama, but TN employees are unique in that they don't ever seem to harbor bad vibes or act out and are very willing to co-operate with co-workers that they don't get along well with.

Besides that it is the most beautiful nursery I've seen in years and the customers are always happy. The plants and the services are top notch and the business itself is very successful.

They hire a lot of seasonal and part time workers, and it may seem hard to advance to full time, but people who go above and beyond are always noticed and appreciated. If I hadn't moved away I would have stayed at TN for years. Very easy to keep as a second job and seasonal work if needed.

Tallahassee Nurseries is a beautiful place with some incredible people. Most of the time, working there was enjoyable. There is so much to experience there, and so much to learn about; however, the management at Tallahassee Nurseries leaves much to be desired. The turnover rate at this establishment is high for a reason; the people in power here simply do not care about retention! Their business practices are embarrassing and humiliating on their behalf. It is most unfortunate that this business has so much potential because it is devastating to fall in love with a place, to truly enjoy your job, just to be estranged by your higher-ups. 

For starters, the nursery itself is an absolutely beautiful environment to work in. I learned so much about plants, trees and the environment while employed. This nursery/landscaping workplace is a place that stands out from other industries because of how well the employers treat their employees.

There are different days and depending on the weather if it’s bad or good it all can depend on the weather and how every employee/customer feel if they are in a good mood or bad, overall it can be so much fun.

I worked in the tree and shrub department and absolutely lived it. I learned so much from everyone I worked with which made me decide to pursue a degree in horticulture eventually.  Everyone I wirked with was nice, fun and professional. As long as you like being outside, the work environment is beautiful.

Outside of falling in loves with the grounds, my co-workers are amazing. I feel like I'm learning something new everyday. The management is clear with me. Certain times of the year can be stressful but I've never had a job where that wasn't the case. 

I have worked here for over 9 years and wish I had started here sooner. Beautiful atmosphere, great bosses/owners, and awesome co-workers. I have learned so much and continue to learn every day. The most enjoyable part of my job is the interactions with staff and customers. 

It’s very nice work if you’re looking for labor. Super laid back and if you’re a hard worker this job is a piece of cake. The only problem is you have to keep your head down to avoid some of the drama the old heads like to engage in. Sometimes people can act violent but it’s all bark.
