About The Gardener’s Center

We help people feel more comfortable with plants — whether they’re just starting out or have been gardening for years. We’re a community-driven garden center where plants are more than products, and our growth depends on sharing real, in-store content that blends clear product information with honest storytelling.

This is a hybrid floor + desk role. You’ll spend part of your time on the sales floor photographing real products and talking with customers, and part of your time at the computer editing, uploading, and publishing content across our website, email, blog, and social.

About the Role

This is a part-time, execution-focused role with a marketing mindset. You will help implement content and campaigns across Shopify, email, blog, and social using strong product visuals and simple, honest storytelling. Overall growth strategy and targets are owned by the Owner.

This role requires interacting with customers to understand who they are, what they’re buying, and what they care about. If you’re comfortable appearing in occasional in-store video content, that’s a big plus.
