Gardener Jobs in Michigan

A Gardener in the landscaping industry is responsible for plant cultivation and maintenance, design and installation of plant structures, and overall landscape management. Their tasks may include planting, pruning, mowing, fertilizing, and implementing pest and disease control measures. Gardeners are also commonly involved in designing garden layouts, installing hardscape features, and overseeing landscape construction projects. More advanced Gardeners may take on additional roles like irrigation system management, tree surgery, and conservation tasks. They may work on residential, commercial, or public properties.

Important skills for a Gardener include a strong knowledge of plant care, pest management, and soil science. Physical stamina and the ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions are also necessary. Certification as a Professional Gardener or Landscape Technician can be beneficial, while an arborist certification or horticulture degree may be required for more specialized roles. Prior to becoming a Gardener, a person might gain experience in roles such as a Landscaping Laborer, Nursery Worker, or Horticulture Assistant.
