Lead Gardener/Horticulturist
Description

 

Outerland is a horticulture-driven landscape company caring for high-end residential and commercial gardens across Cape Cod. We focus on plant health, long-term care, and ecological stewardship — not mow-and-go maintenance.


At Outerland, lead gardeners aren’t just executors — they’re stewards, thinkers, and collaborators.


We’re seeking an experienced Lead Gardener who wants ownership, variety, and the opportunity to help shape gardens over time.

  • Take ownership of assigned properties and support long-term garden planning
  • Apply organic and ecological land care practices
  • Guide and mentor gardeners and junior gardeners
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships
  • Share observations and ideas — feedback from the field matters here
  • Assist with snow work and off season maintenance

Who Thrives Here

  • Experienced gardeners with strong plant knowledge
  • Calm, kind leaders who set a positive tone
  • People who are passionate about teaching others the craft of gardening
  • Responsible and solution oriented leaders
  • Gardeners who value learning and continuous improvement
  • Those who care about long-term results, not quick fixes

Experience & Expectations

  • Professional gardening or horticulture experience strongly preferred
  • Comfortable working independently and making informed decisions
  • Physically able to work outdoors in all conditions
  • Strong communication skills
  • Driver’s license required

What We Offer

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
