Full Job Description

Nursery Production Assistant

About Marbott's Greenhouse & NurseryMarbott's has been part of Portland's gardening community for more than 90 years, serving generations of gardeners with plants grown and selected for this region. Under new ownership, we're refreshing the property and expanding our plant offerings. It’s an exciting time to be a part of Marbotts!

We grow much of what we sell on site, including seasonal annuals, vegetable starts, hanging baskets, perennials, and houseplants, with a growing emphasis on native plants. This gives our staff the chance to be hands-on with plants throughout the growing process, not just on the retail side.

Our team is known for being approachable, knowledgeable, and generous with their time. We're a working nursery where customers can expect thoughtful selection, practical advice, and a welcoming place to return to throughout the year.

The Role

We’re looking for a Growers Assistant to join our team for the upcoming growing season. Day-to-day, this role centers on watering, moving and organizing plants, maintaining plant health, supporting deliveries, and keeping the nursery well-stocked and running smoothly. Beyond the core tasks, you’ll be working alongside our growing team throughout the season—which means real exposure to the full growing process. For someone who wants to build their plant knowledge in a working nursery environment, that hands-on learning is one of the biggest draws of this position.

This is a full-time position running at least through May, with the potential to transition into a more developed role depending on fit and our ongoing needs.

What You'll Do

Growing & Plant Care

Water plants according to established schedules and needs
Clean and maintain plants by removing spent blooms, damaged leaves, and debris
Monitor plants for signs of pests or disease and report concerns to growers
Move, space, and restock plants throughout the nursery

General Operations

Receive and unload plant and merchandise deliveries
Help maintain plant display areas
Assist with facility cleaning and general upkeep

Customer Interaction

Greet customers and help them navigate the nursery
Answer basic plant questions from customers when on the floor

A key part of this role is exposure to how a working nursery operates. You’ll be present for and participating in the growing cycle alongside our growers, with opportunities to learn seed sowing, propagation, pruning, fertilization, and pest management as the season progresses. We believe the best way to develop plant knowledge is to be in it every day, and this role puts you there.

What We're Looking For

Genuine enthusiasm for plants and an eagerness to learn—this role offers real growing exposure, and candidates who are curious and motivated will get the most out of it
Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to manage tasks without constant supervision
Works well as part of a small team and communicates clearly
Friendly, patient demeanor with customers of all experience levels
Comfortable with physical work, including lifting up to 50 pounds, and working outdoors in varying weather conditions

Pay & Benefits

$17–$20 per hour, depending on experience
Employee discount on plants and supplies
Opportunity to transition into a year-round full-time position depending on fit and business needs
Health benefits available for year round full time employment

Pay: $17.00 - $20.00 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount

Application Question(s):

Why are you interested in working with us at Marbott's Nursery?
Do you have any scheduling constraints that would limit your availability (daily or seasonally)?
Describe any previous nursery, greenhouse, or garden center experience. Include any relevant roles and responsibilities you had.
