We are Boston’s most elite boutique landscaping firm specializing in refined plantings, exceptional installations, and long‑term client relationships. Our work centers on private residences and premium outdoor spaces, where we create award‑winning seasonal container combinations, color palettes, and floral displays for window boxes, roof decks, courtyards, and gardens throughout Greater Boston by following our distinctive aesthetic. Within our boutique company, there is a unique opportunity for growth and to make your mark.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who combines horticultural expertise with strong design sensibilities, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to delivering exceptional client experiences.

You will work closely with installation crews, support teams, and clients to deliver high‑impact seasonal programs on time and at the highest quality.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, plan, and execute seasonal color programs and container plantings for spring, summer, fall, holiday, and transitional displays tailored to each property’s architecture, site conditions, and client preferences.
  • Source high‑quality plant material, containers, and materials from growers and nurseries, ensuring availability, performance, and overall design integrity.
  • Procure, schedule, and coordinate materials and deliveries for seasonal installations.
  • Lead and support the installation of seasonal color displays and container gardens, including layout, planting, finishing presentation, and care instructions.
  • Monitor plant health and aesthetics during peak seasons, recommending and executing maintenance, irrigation, deadheading, or refreshes as needed.
  • Communicate professionally with clients during on‑site work—explaining design intent, timelines, and care guidance.
  • Maintain inventory tracking and accurate documentation related to materials, plant care, and site‑specific notes.
  • Maintain high standards for job site safety, cleanliness, organization, and presentation.
  • Support seasonal rhythm of work throughout the year, with heavier workloads during planting and change‑out seasons.
