Qualified candidates:

  • Are reliable, punctual, and eager to learn
  • Enjoy working outdoors and with their hands in all weather conditions
  • Can work independently and as part of a team
  • Have a valid, insurable driver’s license (required) and are comfortable driving company vehicles and trucks (no CDL needed)
  • Can lift 40 lbs regularly and stay active on their feet throughout the day
  • Are comfortable using tablets/apps to track time and job details
  • Are detail-oriented and can follow directions and project notes
  • Can interact professionally with clients in high-profile spaces
  • Are willing to work some Saturdays during busy spring and holiday seasons
  • Must pass a pre-employment drug test and DOT physical

Plant or landscape experience is a plus, but not required.


BENEFITS

  • Health, dental, vision, and HSA options
  • 401(k) and retirement plan options
  • Life insurance
  • Employee discount at garden centers
  • Flexible scheduling

ABOUT THE ROLE

OGI is seeking dedicated team members to focus on the ongoing care and maintenance of outdoor plantings throughout the Columbus area.

  • Assist installation team during peak planting seasons

  • Support holiday décor installation and seasonal cleanup (Nov–Jan)
  • Help maintain equipment, vehicles, and workspace organization


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys plant care, takes pride in independent work, and has a strong eye for detail.

Qualified candidates:

  • Have a passion for plants and horticulture
  • Are dependable, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently
  • Enjoy working outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Have strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
  • Communicate professionally with clients and team members
  • Can lift up to 50 lbs and remain active throughout the day
  • Are comfortable using tablets/apps for scheduling and reporting
  • Have a valid driver’s license with an insurable record (required)
  • Must pass a DOT physical and pre-employment drug screening

Experience in landscaping or horticulture is helpful, but not required—we provide training.


BENEFITS

  • Health, dental, vision, and HSA options
  • 401(k) with matching opportunities
  • Employee discount at garden centers
  • Company-provided uniforms
  • Training and mentorship in professional horticulture


If you’re looking to become part of a fun, passionate, woman-led team and build a career in the green industry, this could be the right fit for you.
