Field Manager - Professional Gardening

OPEN HOUSE at our HQ – 2/13/26 2–5PM

Live by the seasons. Lead with standards. Build teams that last.

At Home Sown Gardens, we’re hiring a Field Manager to lead our gardening crews and own the systems that make great fieldwork possible. This role is for someone who doesn’t just manage people day-to-day—but builds the training, standards, and accountability that allow teams to grow and perform at a high level.

This is not a hands-off office role, and it’s not just a senior gardener position. It’s a leadership role that requires judgment, consistency, and the ability to see both the big picture and the details that make or break a workday.

You’ll spend time planning, coaching, reviewing performance, and occasionally stepping into the field when leadership is needed most.
