Welcome To Christine's Touch Gardening Ltd. - Applying For The Planting/Seasonal Displays Team Leader Position

Looking for…

A Planting/Seasonal Displays Team Leader. Your goal is to master the multi-tasking required to create beautiful seasonal displays and install beautiful gardens. You’ll lead a team of planting techs to ensure each project is completed in true Christine’s Touch Gardening fashion.

Working at Christine’s Touch…

Show up. We bring our whole selves – our best selves – to work each day, and we trust each other to do the same. We back each other up and trust that each other are doing the absolute best we can. The trust that we have built with you and that you have built with your team will lead to the autonomy to run your route, make decisions, and solve problems. You’ll use your intelligence and your creativity knowing that others will back you up.
Work Smart. We’re professional and organized – it’s easy to do a great job when the basics of schedule, route, and administration run like clockwork. You’ll spend time on the tasks that matter.
