Skills and background

Helpful backgrounds include horticulture, greenhouse work, food production, sanitation discipline, note-taking, and the stamina to work around repetitive crop care routines.

Candidates should show comfort with physical work, crop routines, documentation, and shift consistency instead of presenting cultivation as abstract plant enthusiasm.
