Sky does not accept unsolicited application materials from any source
other than directly from a candidate through this website or paper application.
Sky Nursery is always looking for enthusiastic team-players who thrive in a fast-paced and often physically demanding environment. If you love the challenge of picking up new skills quickly, managing several priorities at once, and, most importantly, providing excellent service to our customers through it all, you’ll fit right in here.
See the Sky Team at Work on our Instagram.
Previous garden or customer service experience is appreciated but not required. We’re looking for friendliness, flexibility, and willingness to learn. You’ll learn something new here nearly every day — people who have worked here for decades still do! We value diligent employees who can complete tasks independently and also as a team.

Whether you're working in hardgoods, indoor gardening or even as a cashier, talking all things plants, nature, and environment is just a regular part of the job. This is an opportunity to work directly with the materials that make incredibly rewarding, thriving gardens a reality. A greater appreciation for the natural world is guaranteed.

If you've ever wanted to get your foot in the door of the gardening & landscape industry, or supplement your horticultural training with first-hand experience, then Sky may be just the place for you!

Positions may be available year round, but most of our hiring is done in January and February for the busy spring season. If no jobs are open at this time please apply, and we will keep your application on file.
As mentioned, positions may be open at any point in the year, but the bulk of our hiring is done in January and February in preparation for spring.
The spring hiring process kicks off with applicant review and interview scheduling after the Job Fair in late January. We recommend attending the fair to meet directly with department leads and learn more about the kind of work you'll be doing through a behind-the-scenes tour.

We believe in establishing a consistent, reliable schedule that still remains flexible to the lives of our employees. As a retail business, we do ask that staff be available to work at least one weekend day. Full time and part time scheduling available.
Our busiest months are March-June, and these are the months where we need the most staff support. For this reason, most of our entry-level positions start seasonally in January or February and end in June or July. With this in mind, starting out seasonally can be a great step towards year-round employment at Sky. We also welcome employees who want to return seasonally year after year, and those who want to join us for just one season of work.
Sky Nursery has an active Minor Work Permit, so we are able to accept applications from those 16 years or older at time of hiring. Working at Sky can be a great spring/summer job or supplement to school!
Benefits include medical (including vision) and dental insurance for those working 30 hours or more after a 2-month period, and vacation pay and 401(k) matching retirement plan after 1 year of employment. And of course, all employees receive sick time, in-house continuing education, a generous Employee Assistance Program and discounts on plants and merchandise.
We ask that employees remain in the department they were hired in for three months, but after that, we encourage cross-training, or trying a different department if they desire. Sky prides itself on giving employees the opportunity to grow and gain experience in areas they are passionate about, taking on more responsibility as desired.
