Full Job Description

Overview

My Dragonfly Gardens is looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Gardener Assistant to help care for Florida native and ecological gardens throughout Central Florida.

This is an entry-level Florida native plant gardening position for someone who enjoys working with plants and soil and can handle sustained physical work in Florida’s summer heat and humidity. You do not need experience with Florida native plants, but prior gardening experience and the ability to perform physical outdoor work for shifts of up to 8 hours are required. Landscaping experience alone is not a substitute for gardening experience.

Our work is different from conventional landscaping. We care for living gardens with attention to the plants, wildlife, seasonal changes, and overall health of the garden.

This position uses hand tools only. No power tools or chemicals of any kind.

The ideal candidate:

Pays attention to detail
Follows directions and established procedures
Is reliable, punctual, and accountable
Is open to learning
Works well with clients and team members

Work takes place throughout Lake, Orange, Seminole, Sumter, and surrounding Central Florida counties. Fuel and toll allowance is provided for applicable assignments.

Primary Responsibilities

Hand-pull weeds and remove invasive plants
Perform minor deadheading and garden cleanup
Redistribute mulch and clean pathways
Assist with garden restoration and maintenance
Assist with landscape and garden installations
Learn to identify weeds and desirable plants
Take before-and-after photos and short videos
Complete digital service reports while on the clock
Keep work areas clean and organized
Follow field instructions, priorities, and safety procedures
Represent MDG professionally at client properties

Training & Development

During the first 60 days, training will focus on:

Florida native plants
Common invasive plants
Ecological gardening practices
Basic pruning and cutback techniques
MDG field procedures
Photos, videos, and service reporting
Client property etiquette and professionalism
Understanding how ecological gardens change over time

Training takes place primarily in the field.

Required Qualifications

Capable of sustained physical outdoor work in Florida’s heat and humidity
Open to learning Florida native plants and ecological gardening practices
Prior gardening experience, personal or professional
Ability to follow directions and established procedures
Reliable transportation
Fluent spoken and written English
Comfortable using a smartphone and work-related apps
Strong attention to detail
Reliable, punctual, and accountable
Respectful communication with clients and coworkers

Preferred, But Not Required

Experience with organic or ecological gardening
Knowledge of Florida native plants

Growth Opportunities

The Gardener Assistant position provides an entry point into MDG’s field team. Advancement is based on demonstrated knowledge, reliability, judgment, and performance — not tenure.

Gardener I (G1)

Handles routine garden tasks independently
Recognizes common native and invasive plants
Completes accurate field reports

Gardener II (G2)

Demonstrates stronger plant knowledge and field judgment
Handles more complex garden tasks
Assists with field coordination and mentoring

Gardener III (G3)

Demonstrates advanced ecological knowledge
Supports training and quality control
Takes on greater field leadership responsibilities

Candidates with stronger experience may be considered for a higher-level position.

Work Environment

Work involves extreme weather conditions, including Florida heat, humidity, sun, and rain, as well as uneven terrain and exposure to insects and wildlife.

The position requires extended periods of physical activity, including standing, walking, kneeling, bending, lifting, and repetitive movement.

At MDG, good gardening requires more than completing a task. It requires observation, care, consistency, and respect for the living garden.

Pay: $14.00 - $17.00 per hour

Application Question(s):

Florida conditions: Are you able to perform sustained physical outdoor work for shifts of up to 8 hours in Florida heat and humidity?

Experience:

recent outdoor work: 2 years (Required)

Language:

English (Required)

Ability to Commute:

Minneola, FL 34715 (Required)

Work Location: In person
