Drive Plants Around on Wednesdays

Drive Plants Around for the Plant Club!

Do you have experience driving bigger vehicles?  Love plants?  Enjoy being outside?  Looking for a part-time job to keep you busy on Wednesdays?

The North Shore Plant Club (northshoreplantclub.com) receives deliveries of landscape plants for club members on Wednesdays from May-early October.  We’ve grown and need another driver to get those plants safely from our receiving yard in Deerfield near I-94 to members and pickup sites around the Chicagoland area in rented cargo vans.

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • A reliable, safe driver who is comfortable driving big vehicles like cargo vans, ideally with some professional experience doing so.
  • Fit enough to help us sort plants, load them into and out of the van.
  • A team player, who enjoys being part of a fun group of plant enthusiasts
  • Detail-oriented, to help us ensure the right plants get to the right people
  • Dependably available on Wednesdays

Most Wednesdays from May until early October, $25/hour + a 10% discount on the already great Plant Club prices!

Please email helpus@northshoreplantclub.com and tell us why this job is perfect for you!

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.
