I've heard nurseries sometimes offer seasonal jobs, and I'm curious if Walla Walla Nursery has these opportunities. What kind of work would I be doing, and how would I go about applying?
Nurseries like Walla Walla Nursery frequently offer seasonal work, particularly during the busy late spring and early summer planting season, and often have a variety of positions available. The type of work can be pretty varied - you could be involved in anything from customer service in the sales area, helping customers choose plants and explaining care instructions, to physical work in the growing fields, such as planting, watering, and weeding.
Another common position in nurseries is in the shipping and logistics department where you could be packing and shipping orders, restocking inventory, or maintaining the nursery grounds.
The exact roles and expectations can sometimes vary depending on the nursery's needs in any given season, and it's always good to ask upfront about the exact details of the position you're interested in.
Regarding the application process, most nurseries, including Walla Walla Nursery, likely have a 'careers' or 'employment' page on their official website where they list available positions and provide information on how to apply. Typically, you would need to fill out an online application form and submit your resume, and if your application gets shortlisted, you would be contacted for an interview.
Just remember, working in a nursery can be physically demanding and might require being outdoors in all kinds of weather. But if you love plants and enjoy hands-on work, it can also be incredibly rewarding and educational!
