Join Our Team as a Greenhouse Team Member
We’re California Greenhouses, a Wholesale/Retail Nursery that’s been family-run for 50 years. We’re not just selling plants, we’re building a strong team that takes pride in doing the hard work well. Our mission is simple: to exceed expectations: better plants, better variety, and most importantly, a better team.
This is not easy work, it’s physical, outdoors, and demanding. You’ll sweat, get dirty, and be on your feet all day. If you like staying active, working with your hands, and being part of a team that has each other’s backs, you’ll thrive here. If you’re looking for something light or behind a desk, this won’t be the right fit.
You must be able to lift up to 50 pounds and be comfortable working in varying weather conditions.
Must be available on Weekends
What You’ll Do
- Support Customers – Help them find what they need, answer questions on plants and products, pull and load orders, and run the register when needed.
- Hands-On Greenhouse Work – Water, clean, weed, prune, and keep sales areas clean and organized.
- Fulfill Orders – Pull and tag orders for wholesale and retail customers.
- Shipping & Receiving – Receive new shipments and make sure they’re stocked properly.
- Inventory Support – Learn our software and support the team in tracking what’s coming in and going out.
- General Maintenance – Do whatever it takes to keep the greenhouse running smoothly and efficiently.
- Assist with Deliveries – From time to time, operate box trucks up to 26' to deliver live plants and materials to customers. Load and unload with care and efficiency.

- Flexibility to jump in wherever needed
