Horticulture Internship

We are a third-generation family-owned business, specializing in high quality potted plants. We grow perennials, shrubs, vegetables, and herbs from pint-sized to 3-gallons. We ship to 32 states and pride ourselves in quality, customer service, and a positive work environment. We are looking for someone with motivation to learn, but also fresh eyes to bring something to the table.

Skills you will learn in this internship:

• Propagating: Nearly half of what we grow, starts here from a cutting of a plant 
• Growing: Young plant purchasing, potting, herbicide, pesticide, beneficial insect use, plant growth regulators, etc.
• Plant Care/Maintenance: We have engineered and built our own trimming machines. Learn when to trim a plant and how to keep crops filtering in a timely manner.
• Field Production: We have a sister company selling large bare-root liners to the wholesale market through Star Plants.
• Shipping: Learn the different ways we have to ship our product as quickly as possible.
• Branding/Marketing: We create many of our own brands and design logos/graphics for these programs. In addition, we market our products through social media and mass emails with picture availability lists and weekly videos. We also produce our own website and catalog.
• Sales/Customer Service: We pride ourselves for having some of the best customer service in our industry. If you are interested in sales, we have five independent reps that travel across the Eastern US and in-house reps as well to learn from.  

You do not have to be a botanist for this internship! There are many job options in our industry, and it is a rewarding field to be a part of. If you’d like to know more about the Horticulture industry, consider doing an internship with our team!
