Work for plants
I am a one-person operation with another parttime job, so I can really use help here. This is your opportunity to earn $10 per hour toward plants by donating your time doing things that need to be done in the nursery You can pull weeds, repot plants, clean walkways, deadhead flowers, water pots and beds, label plants, haul potting soil, prune dead wood, rearrange displays, make plant labels, etc. You keep up with your earnings and redeem them for plants whenever you’re ready.
Enjoy Nature
My backyard nursery is filled with opportunities to observe the wonders of nature. The plants and trees and stream bring in all kinds of butterflies, bees, birds, frogs, lizards, turtles, and dragonflies. The flood plain is home to beautiful white lilies after a rain. Bring your camera and enjoy the show. I even have a swing set with a slide to help entertain your children if they don’t prefer to dig in my buggy of potting soil and help me plant things.
