The Horticulturalist supports the care, maintenance, and development of living plant collections and natural landscapes throughout Discovery Place Inc.’s (DPI) growing list of locations. This role ensures that indoor and outdoor areas – including forested environments, trails, habitat zones, and exhibit landscapes – are maintained to high horticultural and aesthetic standards, while supporting safe public access and mission-driven programming.

Working under the leadership of the Sr. Director of Collections (SDC), the Horticulturalist contributes to both day-to-day operations and long-term stewardship of DPI’s natural assets, helping translate ecological and environmental integrity into engaging visitor experiences.

The scope of this role will evolve over time, with an initial focus on site readiness, plant establishment, and foundational landscape care, and expanding to full operations and exhibit support as CMN approaches opening.

Under the guidance of the SDC, this position will closely coordinate with other departments, community partners, and relevant contractors/subcontractors to ensure that environmental impacts are synchronized with all stakeholders. Most notably, our Facilities team will be a regular partner for the Horticulturalist role.

Assisting the SDC to establish, maintain, and plan for future collections of living and non-living plant species, specimens, and artifacts.
Participate in plant-related conservation and research initiatives as directed by the SDC.

Support coordination with facilities and operations teams to maintain trails, grounds, and public-facing spaces.

Provide basic interpretation or support for public-facing activities as needed.
Contribute to creating visually engaging and mission-aligned outdoor spaces.

OTHER FUNCTIONS AND WORK DUTIES

Perform other duties as assigned to support the overall success of the DPI sites.

QUALIFICATIONS

4 year degree in biology, botany, or a related field, or a 2 year specialized degree in Horticulture with 5 years experience in the field.
Familiarity with native plants and southeastern U.S. growing conditions.
Experience with public gardens, parks, or museum environments is preferred.
Working knowledge of plant care, pest management, basic arboriculture principles, basic landscaping principles, and comprehensive environmental sustainability practices within the horticultural field.

Discovery Place Guiding Values:

SCIENCE LEADS US

We are "learn-it-all’s." If we don't know the answer to something, we ask questions, conduct research, create hypotheses, and experiment. We know science is powerful and it can be used to create opportunities, build hope, solve problems, and bring positive change in our world.

INTEGRITY GUIDES US

We bring our best selves to work each day and treat each other with respect, communicate honestly and openly, and hold each other accountable for living our values. As employees of Discovery Place, we're committed to living our values, however, we know none of us are perfect. When we see a teammate

drift away from our values, we provide grace and a gentle reminder and keep moving forward - together.

EQUITY DRIVES US

Diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion are part of our DNA. All teammates and departments are treated equitably and held to the same standards. We find more value

working together to leverage diverse knowledge and experience; we know the group is always smarter than the individual.

INNOVATION ENERGIZES US

We always have our eye on the future and seek to make a bigger impact on our community. We’re consistently innovating. Have a light bulb moment? Share it! No matter your role, everyone is encouraged to innovate. We learn from our failures and celebrate our successes. After all, that is what science is all about.

Employees of Discovery Place should uphold the mission, vision and values of the organization. We strive to provide exceptional service through four core values: uncommon courtesy, the pursuit of personal excellence, teamwork and inclusion. We value the diversity of opinions and intellectual thought and encourage an environment where employees can share ideas openly.

The foregoing description is not intended and should not be construed to be an exhaustive list of all responsibilities of this job. Other duties may be assigned. This job description may be changed to include new responsibilities and tasks or change existing ones as management deems necessary.
