Greenhouse Manager: Bloom Hill Farm

Bloom Hill Farm is hiring a part-time greenhouse manager in Uniontown, Ohio for the 2027 flower season. The role generally runs four hours per day from Monday through Friday, with some Saturday hours during busy seasons, on-farm events, or markets. The manager owns greenhouse production from seed to retail shelf, including propagation, crop care, inventory, and plant presentation.

Bloom Hill Farm is a flower farm and floral design studio serving Northeast Ohio. The greenhouse manager plans seedlings, cuttings, and plug production, then tracks crop quality, timing, records, and retail readiness. The role directs nursery and greenhouse staff, sets daily priorities, and gives feedback. Work takes place in greenhouses and outdoors throughout the year, including heat, humidity, and cold.

Candidates for the part-time opening prepare their greenhouse production background, crop-management experience, and examples of staff leadership. The role also calls for a clear commitment to the 2027 flower season schedule and the physical demands of plant production.

The greenhouse manager plans propagation schedules for seedlings, cuttings, and plugs. Incoming plant material is received, inspected, and documented before it enters production. Watering, fertigation, pruning, pest scouting, disease response, and crop-quality checks continue through the growing cycle.

The position connects crop timing with the spring retail season. Annual plant programs require decisions about varieties, production volume, and timing, while records cover inventory, reorder information, and germination rates. Greenhouse managers also track growing conditions and yields, coordinate operations, and supervise agricultural workers, skills summarized in the NC State manager profile.

Daily production requires clean propagation areas, organized storage, printed crop tags, and timely responses to plant-health concerns. The manager flags problems to the owners, recommends workflow changes, and keeps the production calendar aligned with retail demand.

Bloom Hill Farm prepares plants for a retail nursery as well as for field and hoop-house production. The manager keeps the nursery stocked, signed, and visually maintained, refills backstock each day, and removes plants that fall below the farm's quality standards. Plant tags and retail signs need accurate information before products reach the sales floor.

Customer interaction is part of the retail work. Plant-product knowledge helps the manager answer selection questions, while merchandising experience supports a clear sales area. The greenhouse manager also supports flower harvest, planting, weeding, equipment operation, market work, and festival work when the wider farm schedule requires it.

The greenhouse manager directly supervises nursery and greenhouse staff. Each day includes a work plan, real-time direction, quality expectations, and feedback conversations. New team members receive training on greenhouse operations, harvest technique, and product quality.

Communication keeps propagation, retail preparation, and outdoor crop work coordinated. The role requires self-direction, multiple-task management, computer literacy, email use, spreadsheet work, label printing, and sign printing. Farms software and a project-management system carry the nursery records and work information.
