Plant Shop Associate – Full time – Richmond Hill, ON

MyGreenScape is a houseplant shop on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill. We ship plants across Canada, run local delivery around the GTA, put together plants for weddings and events, and help customers in person at our shop.

We’re looking for a full-time Plant Shop Associate who loves plants and enjoys helping people find the right one.

Pay: Starting at $17.95/hour
Hours: 40 hours a week, scheduled around our store hours (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.), with a 30-minute lunch each shift
Location: 10737 Yonge Street, Unit 17, Richmond Hill, ON
Reports to: Store Manager

About the role
You’ll keep our plants healthy, get orders out the door and help customers in the shop. Some days you’ll be helping a first-time plant owner pick something easy, and other days you’ll be prepping a big order for a wedding. You don’t need to be a plant expert, but you should know your way around common houseplants and genuinely enjoy caring for them. We’ll teach you the rest.

- Care for plants in the shop: watering, cleaning leaves, pruning and checking for pests
- Pick, pack and stage online orders for GTA delivery and shipping
- Get pickup orders ready and hand them off to customers
- Help customers in the shop and ring up sales on our POS
- Prep bulk plant orders for weddings, showers and corporate events
- Help with local deliveries
- Receive plant shipments and help with inventory counts
- Help with product photos and social media content
- Pitch in on anything else the Store Manager needs





What we’re looking for

- A real love of plants and a good working knowledge of houseplant care
- Friendly and patient with customers, whether they’re plant pros or total beginners
- Detail-oriented. Orders need to go out right, and plants need to look their best
- Comfortable juggling a few things at once on busy days
- Enjoys working as part of a team and is open to feedback
- Able to lift up to 50 lbs (big plants, soil bags, cases)

Nice to have

- Retail or customer service experience
- Your own transportation for supply pickups and other errands
- Speaking another language besides English

Schedule

- Weekend availability is required
- Availability during our busiest times, including Black Friday, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, wedding season and our Wednesday specials

Perks

- Staff pricing on plants at cost + 15%, starting after 90 days
- First pick of new plants when shipments arrive
- We celebrate your birthday and work anniversary
