We have a 8'x12' greenhouse and are seeking someone with gardening experience or good intuition with plants to help give consistent attention and care to the plants in the greenhouse. We are especially looking for someone during the seedling season, starting now until late spring. Schedule is very flexible and time needed will vary depending on the weather. At least half an hour 4x per week would be ideal. For the ambitious volunteer, this could develop into a plant sale!
