About Noonday Gardens Noonday Gardens is a boutique fine gardening design and plant‑care company specializing in artistic garden styling, curated botanical beds, and premium indoor/outdoor plant maintenance.
We’re not a traditional lawn care or commercial maintenance crew — no mowing, weed‑eating, or generic installs. We create and maintain beautiful, design‑forward plant environments for clients who value excellence.
️ Please Note Before Applying: This position requires a solid baseline of hands-on plant knowledge and prior experience leading a team. Traditional commercial mowing, weed-eating, or basic lawn care experience alone does not qualify for this role.
Our values are authentic relationship, appreciative attentiveness, and unlocked imagination. At Noonday, we work in such a way that is restorative for everyone involved. If you love plants, design, leadership, and meaningful work, this role is for you.
As our Team Lead, you’ll guide a small crew on-site and ensure the exceptional plant health and artistic quality Noonday is known for:
-
Lead and inspire a crew to complete fine gardening and styling projects efficiently and with mutual respect.
- Oversee the quality control of artistic garden beds, seasonal displays, and high-end container arrangements.
- Manage premium plant care — utilizing your knowledge of proper pruning, watering schedules, fertilizing, and health monitoring.
- Maintain client satisfaction on-site by being a professional, knowledgeable face of the Noonday brand.
- Safely handle materials and equipment (lifting up to 50 lbs) and drive to various work sites in Waco (valid driver’s license required). Trailer‑driving skills are a big plus.
- Proven baseline of plant knowledge: At least 1–2 years of experience in a plant nursery, professional greenhouse work, in fine gardening, or you're a serious, knowledgeable hobbyist who knows their plants, soil, and proper care. (You don't need a degree, but you must know your plants!)
- Leadership capability: Prior experience managing a crew, leading projects, or a highly developed natural ability to organize people and keep schedules on track.
- Physical stamina: A love for the outdoors and the ability to work hands-on in the Texas heat.
- The Basics: A valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation.
- An eye for design, attention to detail, and basic computer skills (for simple on-site bidding or design tasks) are a plus.
- Pay: $20.00 – $25.00 / hour (Depending on experience)
- Job Type: Full-time / Part-time
