Job Description

Job Description

Spring Meadow Nursery produces potted shrub liners which are shipped throughout the United States and Canada. The liners are propagated by cuttings, they are rooted in Westbrook® greenhouses which are outfitted with traveling irrigators, high pressure fog system and computer controlled environment. After the cuttings are rooted, they are moved to Westbrook® open roof greenhouses to finish off the plants for sale.

We continue to expand our operations every year and currently have over 40 acres of production area. Much of our growth can be attributed toward our focus on introducing new and exciting varieties thorough our Proven Winners® Color Choice® brand. We travel extensively throughout the world in search of new varieties, in addition to our own breeding efforts on site.

We are continually looking for qualified candidates to strengthen our staff. Our success as a company is directly related to the success of our team members. Without them we would not be where we are today. We offer internships to those looking to increase their experience level while still attending school. Each of our interns will rotate through the three main production departments in order to gain a well rounded perspective of the full production cycle.

Interns will be responsible for assisting department and assistant managers across all three phases of the production cycle. This role involves helping with day-to-day tasks, data collection, inventory tracking, IPM planning, etc. that are needed during the growing season. Interns will rotate time mainly between three departments, propagation, growing, and Stock / R&D, with exposure potential in Shipping, Marketing, and Breeding
