Garden Center Help

Hi All,

Well, it's that time of year again and we are looking for a few good people to work in our garden center.

We need one or two key people with extensive knowledge of Perennials to assist in merchandising and managing of that department. This person should also have a strong knowledge of trees, shrubs, roses and insect and disease controls. Duties will also include running the outside cash register. Excellent customer service skills are needed for this position. Retired persons are strongly encouraged to apply.

We will also need a few individuals to fill the following needs: watering, unloading trucks, assisting customers in selecting plants and general all around work roles. As this is a very labor intensive business the ideal candidates will be in good physical shape as they will be on their feet all day and they must be able to lift objects up to 40lbs. This is a great position for a DEPENDABLE college student.

Shifts available are for weekdays and weekends through the end of June, and perhaps longer.

If you know anyone interested please forward this email.

Please send resume and applicable qualifications via email only to:
missy@creeksidenurseries.com. Please no phone calls.

Thanks for you help. Spring is coming and we're gearing up!

Missy Langley

Coming out of Hibernation

Aaaaahhhhhhh...this week has been nice with it's big thaw. I feel like a momma bear waking up slowly and starting to move around. Now before I get a lot of comments and emails, I am well aware of the fact that we will get some more cold weather and that we could, in fact, get some crazy 2 foot Super Snow (I lived here in the early 90's). Humor me people!!! This week has felt like spring is just around the corner.

The nursery is open abbreviated hours right now, but don't worry...we have been busy deciding on new stock for the spring. So while you may not see much going on down there, this is really the time of year we are getting our wheels going. Also, if you have seen something in a magazine or heard a friend talking about some new plant or flower, leave a comment or shoot me an email. We'll see if we can get it on our spring order. I'm also looking at containers and accessories for your gardens.

The hardscape schedule is really starting to fill up, so if you are thinking of doing an outdoor room, go ahead and give us a call at 692-0052. Every year we get people calling us in April wanting an outdoor room built in a few weeks. By the time things have really started to warm up our schedule is full, so CALL EARLY! We've done some beautiful projects lately and I KNOW that I need to get some pictures of them on here for you guys to look at...be patient!!! I'll get them on here soon. I know that I am a visual person and seeing what we have done is great to get those wheels going about what we can do at your house. Every time we do a new project I think, "Oh, that's what I want to do in our backyard." Good thing I don't get the guys over here to start working or our backyard would look like a patchwork quilt!!!

OK, so I have my assignments: pics on portfolio, ordering for spring, hardscape schedule...Wow! I'm busy already....got to go to work. See you guys soon!!!
