ABOUT THE GARDENS OF GOLDEN GATE PARK

The Gardens of Golden Gate Park unite three historic gardens—the landmark Conservatory of Flowers (1879), the Japanese Tea Garden (1894), and the 55-acre San Francisco Botanical Garden (1940)—featuring more than 10,000 different kinds of plants from around the world, from rare orchids and cloud forest species to California native plants and serene Japanese landscapes.

Our pioneering public-private partnership between the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department and San Francisco Botanical Garden Society combines the city's expertise in horticulture and facilities with the nonprofit’s strengths in visitor experience, education, philanthropy, membership, marketing, curatorial services, interpretation, and community engagement. Together, we connect people to plants, the planet, and each other, cultivating an internationally renowned destination where conservation, natural beauty, and community flourish.

Learn about our Mission. Get oriented with our Strategic Plan.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Garden Shop Assistant works at the Botanical Garden Bookstore, the Botanical Garden Plant Shop, and the shops at the Conservatory of Flowers. This position shows a passion for gardens or the natural world and brings this experience to the public through their knowledge of the books, products and plants offered in the shops.

This position engages visitors directly and plays a critical role in creating a good first impression as well as excellent overall visitor experience. Their focus is to create a warm and welcoming space for visitors, staff and volunteers as well as support broader institutional efforts and maximize revenue.

These shops are set up outdoors daily. The Garden Shop Assistant oversees operating the Garden Shops, as assigned. They provide exceptional customer service, generate sales, and supervise volunteers. The ideal candidate would be friendly, flexible, and creative with retail experience working with plants and/or books. The Garden Shop Assistant works both independently and part of a team that includes the Retail Manager, the Plant Shop Coordinator, other Garden Assistants, and volunteers. The GGGP retail department is small but mighty, and hands-on participation is needed.
