ABOUT GREEN OASIS

In business since 2008, we are a well-established and respected family-owned interior landscaping company. We sell plants to commercial spaces and then offer a monthly service where we come on a set schedule and water and maintain the plants. We are gardeners. We just happen to garden all year round in corporate accounts and lobbies. From 5-star hotels to world-renowned tech firms, we bring life into buildings. With a focus on service, we have become a leading source of horticulture expertise in the markets we serve.

This would not be possible without our valued employees. We are committed to a team approach. In addition to competitive compensation and a positive work environment, we provide regular seminars, outings, and meetings to ensure continual education in our field.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ENTRY-LEVEL INTERIOR HORTICULTURE TECHNICIAN / PLANT CARE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL

As an Entry-Level Interior Horticulture Technician / Plant Care Service Professional, you provide maintenance for our customers' plants. As the face of our company, your exceptional customer service ensures customer loyalty. Each day, you drive from site to site, including professional offices, commercial buildings, and our greenhouse, to care for plants and ensure that customers are happy.

You love that you aren't stuck at in a cubicle all day! You often wonder how you got so lucky as to work in gardening without having to work outside, other than the back and forth to your vehicle which gives you a breath of fresh air. Taking care of plants and flowers is part science and part art, so you get to engage both your intellectual and creative sides.

You also get to exercise physically by filling and carrying water buckets and climbing ladders as you prune, clean, and care for tropical foliage. When you started, you were just an enthusiastic person with great customer service skills that had an interest in gardening, now you are amazed at the knowledge and skills that you have developed during your time at Green Oasis!
