Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center (East Thetford, VT) is looking for a detail oriented, positive team member to manage our greenhouse and outdoor cut flower systems, develop a robust native perennial plant enterprise and make an impact in a mission driven organization that focuses on agricultural education and research.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Annual and Perennial (A&P) Manager is responsible for all of Cedar Circle’s annual and perennial plant growing environments, including propagation areas, retail greenhouses, garden retail area, outdoor cut flower garden, and perennial nursery. This position is responsible for all annual and perennial growing environments and the management of a team of seasonal staff to accomplish department goals. The ideal candidate will be excited about developing educational opportunities and finding creative ways to connect community members and visitors to our farm and production systems. By working closely with our retail, education, and marketing staff, the A&P manager ensures that visitors are provided with top notch customer service and are educated about the products and systems at CCFEC.
We are currently in a transition period where we are focusing both our retail perennial area and cut flower garden on perennial ‘Plants with a Purpose'—native, local ecotype, pollinator support, and herbal plants that build ecosystem function on our landscape and empower our community members to have a positive impact in the face of biodiversity loss and climate change. Candidates for this position should be excited about native plants and eager to help build out our nursery and educational offerings to this end.
