We are looking for assistance with seed collection, processing and cleaning; plant propagation from seeds, cuttings and divisions, general nursery work (watering, weeding, fertilizing and transplanting) and renovating the nursery irrigation system and structures. Opportunities to participate in salvage and restoration projects are also available as part of this position.
