0 Quick Apply Full-time 5 hours ago Full Job Description Assistant Nursery Manager Who We Are At Winding Creek Nursery, we grow deciduous trees for landscape and nature restoration projects.
Our trees are grown in the ground from saplings that we buy and plant every year.
It takes 3 to 5 years for most trees we plant at our nursery to be of salable size.
During this time every tree must be staked, pruned, fertilized, and watered to make a quality product.
Once the tree is at a salable size, they are dug with a tree spade and sold to our customers, who consist of both retail homeowners and other wholesale landscapers.
We are a small company and anyone who works here becomes like family.
We love being outdoors, we have a great attention to detail, and most importantly we love trees.
It's very satisfying work, and fun to know that in 200 years someone may stand in the shade of a tree we planted.

During the winter, we spend most of our time doing maintenance on our equipment in a heated shop, and on warmer days will go outside and prune trees.

No two days of work are the same, and we don't work by the hour.
The day is done when our work is done, most days being around 8 hours.
Days get longer in the spring and shorter during the winter.
For this reason, this a salary based position.
We take a lunch break every day and lunch is provided.
