Looking for people who are experienced in gardening and landscaping to help upkeep the gardens and greenhouses around the sanctuary. Tasks may include but are not limited to weeding, watering, and digging. After training with our greenthumb supervisor, you will be expected to work independently.
We are an animal sanctuary, so you will need to be able to work around animals. You will mostly be around the chickens and ducks but occasionally larger animals such as pigs, goats, and donkeys.
People who are experienced in identifying plants of any age or size are preferred.
This opportunity is for both women and men, as we also have chores such as weed whacking, brush cutting, and chainsawing.
