Kiwis love to garden and we love to assist them with their gardening needs.    We are looking for experienced retail sales professionals with green fingers and a customer-focused attitude.    Your gardening passion may come from time in your own backyard or you may have undertaken horticultural training – either way you will enjoy helping our customers select the right plants, along with all the dry goods and hardware, whether it’s fertilizers and pest control or gardening gloves and a wheelbarrow.

  • Good time management;
  • A quick and alert mind, with the ability to adapt and be flexible
