Full Job Description

Cultivate Living History: Horticulturist

At Filoli, our gardens are a living canvas where historical preservation, conservation, and horticultural excellence meet. Under the direction of the Garden Manager and Director of Horticulture & Conservation, the Horticulturist stewards a designated area of our historic estate. This role blends daily hands-on cultivation, technical plant management, team mentorship, and warm visitor interaction.

Experience Tracks:

Horticulturist: Minimum 2 years of practical gardening experience.
Provisional Horticulturist: Less than 1 year of experience (a structured program to build your skill set under Filoli leadership).

The Role: Stewarding Our Landscapes

You will set routine work priorities and lead day-to-day care for your assigned garden section—ensuring high aesthetic and historic standards while training interns and volunteers.

The Details

Location: Gorgeous Filoli Historic House & Garden

Position Type: Full-time, Non-Exempt, Hourly, Benefit Eligible

Schedule: Typically Tuesday through Saturday (5 consecutive days per week) from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, with evening and weekend flexibility needed for occasional events

Hourly Range: $36.00 to $39.00 per hour

Key Areas of Impact

Formal Garden Care & Preservation: Execute precision pruning, hedging, topiary care, soil amendment, turf maintenance, and seasonal display plantings. Program and repair irrigation systems according to local climate data (CIMIS).
Greenhouse & Production Ops: Propagate plants from seeds and cuttings, manage greenhouse mist and temperature systems, execute Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and maintain plant collection database records.
Mentorship & Safety Leadership: Schedule routine work, lead group projects, and train Horticultural Trainees, Interns, and Service Learning volunteers. Lead safety workshops on equipment use, pesticide application, and ergonomics.
Guest & Community Engagement: Share horticultural stories daily with estate visitors, lead private tours for donors and colleagues, and occasionally represent Filoli at garden clubs, public lectures, or learning classes.
Special Events & Property Support: Partner across departments to support estate operations, seasonal lighting setups, and event logistics.

Success Profile: Who You Are

You are an energetic, detail-oriented grower with a strong foundation in plant science, safety, and collaborative teamwork.

Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Horticulture (or related field) preferred, paired with at least 2 years of practical garden care (or under 1 year for our Provisional track).
Certifications: Valid Driver's License required. A California Qualified Applicator Certificate/License (QAC/QAL) is required within 6 months of hire (Filoli supports ongoing certifications like ISA, QWEL, or ReScape).
Technical & Mechanical Aptitude: Proficient in operating power equipment, tractors, and hand tools safely. Comfortable with basic software (Google Workspace, MS Office, and plant database tools).
Cultural Alignment: Committed to integrating an equity lens into daily work, fostering psychological safety, and contributing to Filoli’s DEAI goals.

Physical & Outdoor Reality: Gardening on a historic estate is active and physical! You will work outdoors in varied weather across uneven terrain, perform repetitive motions (up to 50% of shift), climb ladders/scaffolding up to 16’–25’, and lift up to 35 lbs. frequently (and up to 60 lbs. occasionally).
