Gardener Jobs in Chaska, MN

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.

Prior to becoming a Gardener, a person might gain experience in roles such as a Landscaping Laborer, Nursery Worker, or Horticulture Assistant.
